Efforts

In Daisetsuzan National Park, park volunteers support wide-ranging projects promoted by the Ministry of the Environment, including nature commentary activities, clean-up/beautification activities, prevention and extermination of invasive species, prevention and patrol of poaching, and illegal digging of rare flora and fauna, as well as maintenance and repair of mountain trails and signs.

Daisetsuzan National Park has been facing the problems of erosion and the scouring of mountain trails and the devastation of vegetation by trampling from climbers and flowing water. To preserve the sustainable natural environment and to promote utilization of the vast mountainous area, concerned administrative authorities mountaineering clubs and other mountaineering groups, volunteers, and a wide range of relevant parties work in concert to promote the preparation of the system for maintenance and management activities of mountain trails.
