Inochi no Nigiwai Sokendai (Life and Living Things Investigation Team) members wanted ！ Why don't you start investigating living things?

The "liveliness of life" refers to the many types of organisms living together in balance.
This research group was established to learn more about the nature and the living creatures of Chiba Prefecture through the investigation of familiar creatures, and to think together about how we can protect the "liveliness of life".


In order to hand down the wonderful nature of Chiba Prefecture to our future children, why don't you join our survey group and start surveying living things?


●What does a survey team member do?
There are two things we investigate. One is to report our findings, saying "I found that creature. The other is a seasonal report: "Today, I heard its call for the first time this year, I found its eggs, and its flowers have bloomed. Of course, it is not necessary to report everything. Please report when you notice the creature and when you are certain that this is the creature.

Reports can be submitted via our website （ fax ・ or mail ）.
If possible, please attach photos of the creature, its tracks, etc., and audio data of its calls, etc.


●What do you know from the survey results ？
Discovery report （ Native species ： Creatures originally in Chiba prefecture, southern species ： Creatures that came into the prefecture from warm regions due to global warming, etc., alien species ： Reports from members of the group such as creatures newly introduced from overseas or other areas in Japan ） ＝ Based on the survey results, we will investigate the habitat distribution of these creatures and follow the changes.
Based on your reports, we are studying the seasonal observation fronts of organisms in the prefecture in detail, and investigating the long-term effects of regional warming, etc.

The results of the survey will be compiled on a regular basis, and will be presented in the form of visual information such as distribution maps of living organisms and living organism fronts within the prefecture.
