Safekeeping biodiversity-related biological and intellectual property
Biodiversity Center collects the results of the Green Census, including reports and drawings, as well as other
documents on the natural environment and biodiversity, and holds them in safekeeping for future generations. To assist with research
efforts, the center also preserves specimens of rare wildlife (including the Japanese Crested Ibis and Iriomote Cat), and other important specimens
that might otherwise be lost if dispersed among universities and research institutes.
