100 Living Creatures of Kobe We Want to Protect守りたい神戸の生きもの百選
About this collection
The "100 Living Creatures of Kobe We Want to Protect" were selected with the wish to maintain a safe, rich, and peaceful environment forever. About 5,000 opinions were gathered from recommenders including general citizens, elementary and junior high school students, teachers, and members of school biology clubs. Based on these, 100 species of living creatures that should be preserved in Kobe were chosen.
Seven experts considered five key points during selection: indicator or regional symbolic value, ongoing conservation activities, high rarity, origin in Kobe, and familiarity.
For example, the "Beech Trees of Mount Rokko," whose habitat is threatened by global warming, were selected to help pass on their lives to the future. This selection is highly meaningful as it aims to alert citizens to maintain biodiversity.
Translated from the Japanese edition. Original Japanese names are included to help identify entries. Names, addresses and selection details may reflect the original publication.
