Participation in the “30 by 30 Alliance for Biodiversity”

“30 by 30 Alliance for Biodiversity” is a voluntary coalition of companies, local governments, NPOs, and others under the leadership of the Ministry of the Environment of Japan. The Oji group has participated in the alliance, which aims to conserve and protect at least 30 % of land and sea areas by 2030.

The alliance is engaged in the international OECM* registration of lands owned by the private sector and others, in addition to expanding protected areas.

Since 2016, the Oji Group has been working with the Ecosystem Trust Society to designate our Koyagauchi company forest in Kochi Prefecture as OECM and preserve the habitat in which the Japanese Fairy Pitta lives.
