While mask-wearing is increasing, mask littering is also increasing.
There have been reports of damage to wildlife, such as masks getting entangled in birds' legs.
To protect the ecosystem of living things, please refrain from littering masks and other garbage.
In our daily lives, we are surrounded by plants, animals, insects, fish, and many other living things.
Living things are interconnected, and all living things are connected through the relationship of "eating" and "being eaten."
The various supportive relationships that exist between living things are called "biodiversity."
Inflicting harm on living things around us, feeding them needlessly, and disturbing the natural lives of those living things destroys the bonds between living things and makes it impossible to preserve biodiversity for the future.
Let's treat living things with kindness and consideration.
