Please do not feed wild animals such as pigeons and carp.

Feeding pigeons and other birds seen around the Misawa River and parks is causing harm. Even if you are feeding them with love, it affects the healthy ecosystem of wildlife. Please stop feeding them to maintain a healthy ecosystem and for environmental conservation.

Feeding wildlife leads to overpopulation and the expansion of their habitats.
They build nests in human dwellings, increasing damage from droppings and noise.
They become unable to obtain food on their own, which destroys biodiversity.

What is biodiversity?

In our daily lives, we are surrounded by plants, animals, insects, fish, and many other living beings.
Living beings are connected to each other, and all living beings are linked in a relationship of "eating" and "being eaten."
The various supportive relationships that exist among living beings are referred to as "biodiversity."
Causing harm to nearby living beings or feeding them indiscriminately disrupts their natural way of life, which can break the connections among living beings and hinder the continuation of biodiversity into the future.
Let us interact with living beings with kindness and compassion.
