Participation in "How Far Do Dragonflies Fly Forum" to contribute to create ecosystem networks with the local community

Toshiba Energy Systems & Solutions Corporation Keihin Product Operations

Keihin Production Operations participates in "How Far Do Dragonflies Fly Forum," a collaborative effort among the local government, companies, citizens, and experts to promote biodiversity conservation activities. Several species of dragonflies, including the Shiokara dragonfly, visit the Operations site, and dragonfly naiads, killifish, and topmouth gudgeons have been found in the pond on the premises, which provides a habitat for creatures in the coastal industrial zone.
The centerpiece of this activity is a biotope which is a water area made from rainwater, and various measures have been implemented to attract different kinds of creatures, such as the creation of habitats for small animals. There, you can see flying insects, frogs, and the Japanese grass lizard. This biotope is among the places where the Forum conducts surveys on the species of dragonflies and their areas of activity, and every summer, we conduct dragonfly capture surveys with Forum members. The biotope is located on the outer edge of Keihin Product Operations, and we install a walking deck and benches there, and it serves as a place for employees and local residents to relax.
We will continue to work with the local community by green space sharing and participating in the Forum activities, and contribute to create an ecosystem network in the Keihin coastal area.
