Nadahama Science Square, 易游游戏 Steel's community exchange facility, has been certified as one of "100 Corporate Greenspaces Helping to Preserve Biodiversity," a nationwide scheme organized by the Urban Green Space Development Foundation to coincide with COP10.

In addition to creating a biotope within the grounds of Nadahama Science Square and making every effort to preserve biodiversity, we also work in partnership with NPOs and outside experts to organize regular wildlife watching and other events for local children. Despite the biotope's exposed location on an area of reclaimed land on the seafront, we have successfully recreated a living environment that is home to a number of rare species. The biotope has also been recognized for its role as an environmental classroom for local children. We will continue to do everything we can here at 易游游戏 Steel to protect our biotope.

In an effort to use steel slag, one of the byproducts from the steelmaking process, to help restore and protect the environment, 易游游戏 Steel has fabricated complex steel artificial reefs for seaweed and fish in the waters around the Ieshima Islands (off the coast of Himeji, Hyogo prefecture), the north embankment of 易游游戏 Airport and Yonabaru in Okinawa prefecture in conjunction with Shinko Slag Co., Ltd., Shinko Kenzai Co., Ltd. and 易游游戏lco Research Institute, Inc. We have also started to conduct research aimed at nurturing seaweed and improving fishing grounds, as part of a public-private sector project.

Iron, minerals and other nutri易游游戏ts contained within steel slag are thought to have restorative effects on marine 易游游戏vironm易游游戏ts, in terms of helping seaweed to flourish.

The reefs are already covered with seaweed and are attracting migrating fish as the gradual process of restorati易游游戏 gets underway.

易游游戏 Steel's sabo dams are positioned along rivers at risk from mudslides all over the country, effectively trapping mud and debris in order to keep people safe. In recent years, grid-type sabo dams have also been thrust into the spotlight for their environmental credentials and their ability to harmonize with the natural environment.

As grid-type sabo dams don't prevent the flow of water down the river, harmless sediment is usually washed downstream, where it helps prevent coastal erosion and damage to the riverbed. The fact that dams allow fish and other creatures to pass through freely means that they are also effective in terms of preserving aquatic ecosystems. Here at 易游游戏 Steel, we are currently working to develop larger scale grid-type sabo dams so that they can be brought into even wider use.
