Why Biodiversity?
My original experience lies in the fields and mountains I ran around as a child.
Days spent catching bugs, picking flowers, and chasing fish in the river.
The excitement I felt then, and the mysterious charm of living things.
That is at the root of who I am today.
Now, the world is moving toward 'seriously creating a society that lives in harmony with nature,' with terms like 'Nature Positive' and '30by30'.
But this isn't just about distant lands or only for experts.
Turning our eyes to familiar nature.
Knowing what creatures are there.
We need vast amounts of data for that.
Experts alone can't keep up.
That's why we need everyone's power.
A Gentle and Fun Cycle
Taking a photo with your smartphone of a creature you found on a walk.
Just that contributes to science.
Even if you don't know the name, someone will tell you.
Just liking a post encourages someone.
Everyone can participate at their own pace.
I want to create such a place.
Let's Learn Together
To be honest, 'biodiversity' isn't well understood, is it?
I was the same.
My university was International Politics and Economics. My high school major was Physics.
I'm not from the 'biology field' at all.
That's exactly why I created a page to learn together so that even non-experts can understand.
I have been involved in the launch of many websites and services, mainly for startups in Tokyo.
I grew a personal blog to 1 million monthly views with just SEO,
and experienced operating media with 10 million monthly views with excellent colleagues.
I have experienced launching multiple businesses and starting companies in this area.
Using that experience, I am now working in Hamamatsu.
And to support the development of IKIMON,
I decided to offer 'GROWING SITE', which is my area of expertise.
The proceeds from this service will be used for IKIMON development.
Strengthen your business while protecting the future of the earth.
I want to create such a 'triple-win' cycle with you.
It is a project that has just begun,
but we will move forward steadily, step by step.
I would be happy if you could support us.
