“Satologue will enhance both regional appeal and biodiversity.”

As I dig, I imagine what creatures we might attract. That’s where the fun for biotope comes from. In Okutama, we can still find super rare fire-bellied newts never seen in central Tokyo. In mountainous regions, flat spaces are rare, and for creatures who need still water for spawning, the biotope offers valuable habitat.
Living things are connected through food webs and form all kinds of relationships with each other. When one species arrives, it might bring others linked to it. This place may be not just for water creatures, but as a drinking spot for mammals and other forest animals. From where to plant what trees to placing nest boxes for nature watching, there are so many possibilities. It’s exciting just thinking about it.
