PLATFORM
A Platform Where Enjoyable Discoveries Become Continuous Records
Photograph living things you find on your walk, learn their names together, and grow closer to local nature.
That enjoyment becomes learning in daily life and records that can be used for the future.
HOW IT WORKS
Three Steps from Enjoyment to Records
Discover & Shoot
Take photos of creatures you find on your walk.
It's OK if you don't know the name.
Identify Together
Learning names together with the community
deepens both understanding and attachment.
Continuous Records
Records can support research, conservation, and local learning,
turning enjoyment into future value.
FEATURES
What You Can Do
Observation, identification, events, and learning connected in one place.
Observation Map
MAP
Explore local wildlife discoveries on a map and enjoy following changes in nearby nature.
Discoveries from walking routes, parks, schools, and corporate green spaces build up as local nature data.
Identify Together
IDENTIFY
Even when you do not know a species name, the community can help you learn it step by step.
Participation from knowledgeable people supports both the joy of observation and the reliability of records.
Observation Events
EVENTS
Companies, municipalities, schools, and local groups can host wildlife walks and nature observation programs.
Participants' discoveries can become a lasting local nature archive after each event.
Living Things Guide
ENCYCLOPEDIA
Posts and identifications can lead to learning and deeper curiosity about nearby organisms.
We aim to connect observation records with explanations for a learning experience enjoyed by children and adults.
This service is currently under development. Please wait for the official release.
DATA CONTRIBUTION
Every Discovery Can Become Future Nature Data
Each observation is a clue for understanding local biodiversity.
We aim for a future where records gathered through enjoyment support research, conservation, education, and community planning.
COMMUNITY ROLES
There Is More Than One Way to Join
Photograph, identify, welcome, or support. Each role has its own enjoyment.
Casually photograph creatures you notice on a walk. Even without knowing the name, that one photo can be the start of a deeper connection with nature.
Share your knowledge by identifying species. You help deepen someone else's curiosity and make local nature more engaging.
Welcome first-time posters. A warm atmosphere is what makes a community enjoyable and sustainable.
Watching, reacting, and liking also matter. Small responses help people keep going.
FOR BUSINESS
For Companies & Local Governments
IKIMON is not only a tool for collecting observation data.
It turns enjoyable encounters with nature into citizen participation, continuous records, and local attachment,
bridging them to biodiversity action in contexts such as TNFD and 30by30.
