We endeavor through the project to encourage participation in the activities of groups with which we are collaborating and to raise awareness of biodiversity and its conservation based on My Action Declaration*, a set of five actions to protect biodiversity.

*To preserve biodiversity, we conduct initiatives that allow us as individuals to take action from something familiar in our daily lives in order to feel more connected to biodiversity.
