Ecosystem Watch
Eosystem Watch is the monitoring of the ecosystem structure of our
neighboring surroundings. We conduct surveys of both fauna and flora
found in this area, with a special focus on native species. Ecosystem
Watch helps with the management of ecosystems and the conservation
of biodiversity, found in the neighboring habitats.

Knowing Our Neighbors
Our organization firmly believes that no two organisms are the same,
and is strongly against generalizing species’ traits. Therefore,
our studies are carried one step further, for example, recognizing
the individual characteristics of each and every being involved in
our field study. Thus, species of Great tit (Parus major), Japanese
giant flying squirrel (Petaurista leucogenys), Montane Brown Frog
(Rana ornativentris), Bumblebees (Bombus diversus) et cetera. are
all individually captured and marked, enabling detailed observations
of breeding activities and migration. These activities facilitate
observations of true science.

Understanding Individual Personalities Deepens Empathy for Life
A single organism not only inherits traits specific to the species
group but also exhibits a variety of individual traits. Competition
and selection of these traits over a period of time creates an organism
adapted to the present day environment. These organisms have endured
a long process of evolution making each and every one of them ultra-special
and irreplaceable in the world we live in. We believe that showing
such individual diversity to the general public, we can succeed in
creating empathy for life and understanding of the importance of conservation.
