Biodiversity Initiatives
The ENEOS Materials Yokkaichi Plant, in cooperation with JSR Corporation's Yokkaichi Plant, has been conducting maintenance work to create a "satoyama where butterflies fly around." Bringing light and breezes into the previously dense forest and leaving a grassland at the entrance, they are reproducing a satoyama environment that is a comfortable habitat for grassland insects such as grasshoppers and butterflies. In addition, by planting many camphor trees, the city tree of Yokkaichi, and other low shrubs with flowers, many butterflies that are attracted to the nectar of the flowers, including the camphor-leaf-loving common bluebottle, have begun to fly into the area.
