Invitation to a Mailing List,
“Development and Future of the Regional Bio-diversity Conservation Strategy for
Minato Ward, Tokyo”.
(Background
and Purposes)
Minato-ku is one of the 23 wards of the Tokyo Metropolitan
District. Facing with Tokyo Bay and having large parks, over 20% of this ward
is covered with vegetation, and the ward government decided to develop its own
regional bio-diversity conservation strategy by the end of 2013 in accordance
with a national law, "Basic Act on Biological Diversity".
On
November 10, 2012 the ward made public this plan at a kick-off event,
"Minato Ward Biodiversity Local Strategy – Minna
Ikimono Daisakusen"
held at the Minato Ward Eco Plaza.
To
support this plan, I, with support of various stakeholders, have established
this mailing list as an initial step for anyone, particularly those interested
in the ward, to create common goals and a forum in which all participants
collaborate for the goals.
I
expect that participants from those who are working for biodiversity and nature
conservation to beginners utilize this mailing list as a tool to exchange
information regardless of own position or localities.
I
welcome to this mailing list anyone interested in or related to Minato Ward,
i.e., anyone who lives or lived, works or worked in the ward, or even those who
only pass or passed through it.
(Contents)
I
expect your active submission of such information as biodiversity of Minato
Ward, the Convention of Biological Diversity and discussions made at the
convention’s Conferences of the Parties, local information of your prefectures
and nations, notices of symposium, lectures, useful references, etc.
(Target
participants)
Anyone,
regardless of position or affiliation, who has access to email or internet and
interested in biological diversity, the Convention of Biological Diversity and
its Conferences of Parties, and particularly in Minato Ward. I also welcome
those who study biological diversity in field and beginners who wish to study and
have such information.
Each
participant personally registers and submits own opinion beyond the boundaries
of the public institutions and the (organization) group he/she belongs to.
