Wishing a quick and complete recovery to the all victims of
the Noto Peninsula Earthquake in 2024.
At 16:10 on 1 January 2024, there was a magnitude 7.6 (preliminary) earthquake in the Noto region of Ishikawa Prefecture, Japan.
Many roads are reported to be sinking or collapsing. Rescue operations in the affected areas have been delayed because of these problems.
We wish our deepest sympathies to all people who are staying at home or in shelters in the cold winter days.
We also pray for you to rebuild the region with great strength.

Geological (weathering) basic survey results have revealed that groundwater, humidity, and other moisture in the cave are important for Taya Cave. In order to secure groundwater, it is important to conserve the satoyama where the cave is located. Therefore, basic environmental surveys such as water quality surveys, tree surveys, and bioinvestigations are necessary.
-
In 2019 : We conducted a water quality survey and a biological survey in the cave.
* Water quality survey: Saitama University Koguchi Laboratory
* Survey of cave organisms: high school volunteers
-
In 2022 : We conducted " Acquisition of 3D image data by SfM of satoyama forest floor " and "Basic survey of vegetation in satoyama".
* Satoyama forest floor SfM: Saitama University Koguchi Lab
* Satoyama vegetation basic survey: 2022 Senshu Public Elementary School 6th grade
Mosses are existing around light fixtures in the cave. In addition, fungi are existing on the cave walls, ceiling, and wood. Furthermore, we have confirmed that insects and other creatures are living in the cave. Therefore, we conducted an ecological sampling survey of the cave in 2019. Volunteer high school students who are familiar with the biological environment are participating in this survey.

Measurement of All Trees ～Satoyama Vegetation Basis Survey since 2022～
毎木調査 ～里山植生基礎調査～
Collaboration :
Senshu Public Elementary school 6th graders of 2022
Underground heritage sites, such as the Taya Cave, coexist with the aboveground satoyama environment. For this purpose, a survey of every tree in the satoyama is necessary to understand the vegetation in the satoyama.
Currently planned survey activities include the following items.
Understanding tree species
Understanding of ground cover
Understanding trees with dangerous tree height
Currently, we are in the process of preparing for "procurement of purchase costs for survey equipment and materials" and "survey of landowners concerned and registration of survey area". It is necessary to conduct such a survey at a time when there are no dangerous creatures. However, at this point, we are short of manpower, so the timing of the survey has not yet been decided. So, we are looking for a wide range of cooperators!
Now, we are looking for specialists, researchers, collaborators, and volunteers!
