Size of Wales : ウィキペディア英語版 | Size of Wales Size of Wales is a charitable project with the aim to conserve an area of tropical rainforest the size of Wales. The project currently supports fourteen forest projects worldwide linking them to supporters in Wales. The charity focuses upon furthering the promotion of rainforest conservation as a national response to the problem of climate change. == The size of Wales == Wales is 2 million hectares in size, the equivalent of 2 million rugby size pitches.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_unusual_units_of_measurement#Wales )〕 'An area the size of Wales' is frequently used to measure the rate of forest destruction. The Size of Wales aims to turn that negative use of the country's size on its head, by encouraging the people of Wales to take positive action and help protect an area of tropical forest equivalent to the size of their nation. BBC Radio 4's numbers programme (More or Less ) uses the size of Wales as a scale of measurement. In this scale a milliwales (1/1000 of a Wales) is Barry, whilst a deciwales (1/10 of a Wales) is Snowdonia National Park and a hectowales (100 Waleses) is Saudi Arabia.
