Yes, they care much more about nature, animals and the environment than the rest of the world
They care a lot by international standards, but less than the Western average
Why would they care more than others ?
They care a lot about seasons and cherry blossoms but kill whales and destroy their environment
No, the Japanese care less about the environment and animals protection than average
I think it is impossible to compare because there is no national trend anywhere

Just right here around me locally, how about r, and nǐ?
They do have limited stretches with concrete reinforcements on the banks, typically in urban areas as has been pointed out already.
Even in areas without the concrete reinforced banks, though, unsightly earthen levees are the norm for large stretches of river. These are an absolute necessity, though, for flood control. I've seen vintage film footage of what happened right here in Kiryu soon after the end of the war, prior to any flood control measures being put into effect. It was horrible, to say the least.
Well, maybe some day you'll be able to come here for something other than such a short visit.I like watching documentaries about nature, and in my 4 years in Japan I almost cannot remember seeing such documentaries on the 7 main (free) channels in Tokyo (NHK, NHK2, Nihon TV, TBS, Fuji TV, Asahi TV, Tokyo TV).
I absolutely hate Japanese television and in most cases would rather take an *** whipping than even be in the same room with it....but even I've seen nature documentaries. (Technically, NHK isn't free, by the way).
