Protecting the ‘Water’ of a Town with Water Sources
Satoyama landscapes are vital for conserving biodiversity.
High-quality water nourishes the fields and has fostered a brewing culture of miso, soy sauce, and sake. Rich water is cultivated by a diverse forest. Moreover, water not only nurtures plants but also enriches the lives of people living here and sustains the habitat for local wildlife. The water purified by the forests plays a role in maintaining the health of the forests themselves.
