Biodiversity conservation activities

The "Morinji Pond and Lowland Wetland" near the Tatebayashi Business Office (in Ora Town, Ora County, Gunma Prefecture) is home to rare plants such as yellow water lilies, irises, and water chestnuts. It was designated a natural monument of Gunma Prefecture in 1960. In recent years, the proliferation of invasive species such as yellow flag irises has become a serious issue, inhibiting the habitat of native species. Our company participates in the "Morinji Pond Wetland Cleanup Activities" and "Yellow Flag Iris Eradication Activities," organized by the Morinji Pond Nature Preservation Association and the Tatebayashi City Board of Education, contributing to the conservation of Morinji Pond alongside local residents.
