The Komazawa Women's University Activity Club has been working with Inagi City to carry out invasive species removal volunteer activities since 2015. Their achievements have been recognized, and they have now been certified as the 16th certified project by the Japan Committee for the United Nations Decade on Biodiversity.
Members of the Activity Club have previously participated in citizen beautification campaigns and Misawa River cleanups.
We hope that this recognition will lead to even greater success for the club. We also ask that citizens continue to support the club.
Situation of the extermination course for the Japanese goldenrod
Invasive species introduced by humans threaten to affect the native species that originally lived in Japan, causing them to become extinct.
In order to protect the fireflies and fish of the Kamiyato River by exterminating this invasive species, the ACTI Department first began exterminating the American crayfish.Instead of just exterminating the edible American crayfish, we wanted to convey the importance of life. I tasted it.
We are continuing our activities to exterminate the Golden daisy, with the hope that children in the city will learn about ecosystem services by using the cut petals for plant dyeing.
