Regional Strategy for Biodiversity (Yokohama Action Plan)

　The Biodiversity Regional Strategy (Yokohama Action Plan) is a regional biodiversity strategy based on the Basic Law on Biodiversity. We are promoting initiatives to encourage citizens to interact with familiar creatures, deepen their understanding of biodiversity, and take action based on the four policies of "spread awareness," "conservation, regeneration and creation," "creation of mechanisms," and "town development and economic activities."
　In November 2018, it was incorporated into the "Yokohama City Environmental Management Plan" with the plan revision. The main contents of the Yokohama Action Plan are described in Chapter 5 Basic Policy 2, Biodiversity.
