Yasuga Irodori Forest, Where People and Animals
Live in Harmony
The forests of Okuharima are in a state of deterioration
due to a lack of care. If the situation continues unabated,
the inherent role of satoyama (village forests) – which
serve as a boundary between wildlife and humans – will be
compromised.
Wild
animals will enter the village, threatening the existence
of both parties. Therefore, Cosmo Energy teamed up with
the local community to thin 20,000 square meters of woodland
to create a forest with plenty of sunlight. Furthermore,
it planted low-growing flowering trees and shrubs such as
hydrangeas and peonies, creating an environment where people
can visit freely. In addition, repairing waterways is essential
to improve drainage and install protective fencing to prevent
wild animals from entering the area. Through these efforts,
Cosmo Energy will create the Yasuga Irodori Forest, where
people and wildlife live in harmony with one another.

Challenges
Shortage
of veterinary doctors : Leads to proper treatment of animals
Fees of veterinary doctors : May lead to calling Veterinary
doctors late (affecting animal life)
Poaching and Illegal Wildlife Trade:
Social Intricacies
Food Shortages
Animal Welfare
Economic Pressures
Regulatory Compliance
Individual Animals
Habitat Loss : Human activities like urbanization,
agriculture, and infrastructure development lead to the
destruction and fragmentation of natural habitats, isolating
animal populations
Deforestation : results in habitat loss and degradation
of species that rely on forests for survival.
Pollution : Harms animal health.
Climate Change : Droughts, floods, and wildfires makes humans
focus on themself and it may devastate animal populations
and disrupt ecosystems.
Rising Temperatures : disrupt life of animals.
Sea Level Rise : affects marine mammals and seabirds.
Overfishing depletes fish populations and disrupts marine
ecosystems
Bycatch (accidentally catching non-target species) harms
other marine animals.
Habitat Loss,
Degradation, and Fragmentation:
Destruction, fragmentation, and degradation of natural habitats
are major threats to wildlife, reducing space and resources
for animals to live and reproduce.
Climate Change:
Changing climates can disrupt ecosystems, alter migration
patterns, and lead to food shortages or unsuitable breeding
conditions for animals.
Invasive Species:
The introduction of non-native species can outcompete native
animals for resources and disrupt the delicate balance of
ecosystems.
Pollution:
Various forms of pollution, including plastic waste, chemical
runoff, and noise pollution, can harm animals directly or
indirectly through contaminated food sources.
Light and Noise Pollution:
These can disrupt animal behavior, migration patterns, and
communication, particularly for nocturnal animals.
Human-Related Challenges:
Poaching and Illegal Wildlife Trade:
The hunting and trade of animals for their parts or products
is a major driver of species decline and extinction.
Overfishing:
Unsustainable fishing practices deplete fish populations
and disrupt marine ecosystems, impacting animals that rely
on fish for food.
Roadkill:
Collisions with vehicles can be a significant cause of mortality
for many animal species, especially during migration or
when crossing roads.
Bycatch:
Animals, including marine mammals, birds, and turtles, can
be unintentionally caught and killed as a result of fishing
activities.
Animal Welfare Issues:
Animals in captivity, including those in zoos, circuses,
and research facilities, can face challenges related to
their well-being, including stress, disease, and inadequate
care.
Animal Agriculture:
The practices of raising animals for food can have significant
impacts on animal welfare, including confinement, disease,
and stress.
Animal Abuse and Cruelty:
Animals are also victims of abuse and cruelty, including
neglect, abandonment, and intentional harm.
Other Challenges:
Disease:
Infectious diseases can spread rapidly through animal populations,
leading to outbreaks and mortality.
Food Shortages:
Changes in climate and habitat loss can lead to food scarcity,
impacting animal survival and reproduction.
Social Competition and Intricacies:
Animals face competition for resources and mates, as well
as social challenges within their own species.
Natural Disasters:
Extreme weather events and other natural disasters can devastate
animal populations and their habitats.
1. Habitat
Loss and Degradation:
Destruction and Fragmentation:
Human activities like urbanization, agriculture, and logging
lead to the destruction and fragmentation of natural habitats,
reducing the available space and resources for endangered
species.
Deforestation:
The clearing of forests for various purposes, including
agriculture and logging, results in the loss of crucial
habitats for numerous species.
Invasive Species:
The introduction of non-native species can disrupt ecosystems,
outcompete native species, and threaten the survival of
endangered populations.
2. Climate Change:
Altered Habitats:
Climate change, including rising temperatures and changing
precipitation patterns, can alter habitats and disrupt ecological
processes, making it difficult for species to adapt and
survive.
Disrupted Migration Patterns:
Changes in climate can disrupt the migration patterns of
animals, leading to reduced breeding success and increased
mortality.
3. Poaching and Illegal Wildlife Trade:
Overexploitation:
The unsustainable hunting, trapping, and harvesting of wildlife
for their body parts, meat, or other products can severely
deplete populations of endangered species.
Illegal Trade:
The illegal trade in wildlife products, including ivory,
rhino horn, and tiger parts, is a major threat to many endangered
species, driving their populations towards extinction.
4. Pollution:
Water and Air Pollution:
Pollution from industrial activities, agriculture, and other
sources can contaminate water and air, harming wildlife
and disrupting ecosystems.
Plastic Pollution:
The accumulation of plastic waste in the environment, especially
in oceans and waterways, poses a serious threat to marine
life and other species.
5. Human-Wildlife Conflict:
Increased Competition:
As human populations expand, there is increasing competition
for resources, leading to conflicts between humans and wildlife.
Reprisal and Retaliation:
Conflicts can lead to retaliatory killings of wildlife by
humans, further endangering vulnerable populations.
6. Other Challenges:
Lack of Awareness and Education:
A lack of public awareness and education about the importance
of conservation and the threats to endangered species can
hinder conservation efforts.
Inadequate Funding and Resources:
Conservation efforts require significant funding and resources,
including trained personnel, equipment, and infrastructure,
which are often lacking.
Weak Enforcement of Laws:
Lax enforcement of laws and regulations designed to protect
endangered species can undermine conservation efforts.
Disease:
New and emerging diseases can spread quickly through vulnerable
populations, threatening the survival of already endangered
species.
