Sagawa Express Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Minami-ku, Kyoto City; President: Koki Sasamori), a member of the SG Holdings Group, held a results presentation for its environmental education program, "Takao Green High School" (hereinafter, "the Program"), which uses the company-owned "Takao 100-Year Forest" located in Hachioji City, Tokyo, as its field. The Program aims to provide junior and senior high school students in Hachioji City with practical learning opportunities in biodiversity, thereby deepening their understanding of the local natural environment and fostering highly specialized individuals who will be responsible for future environmental conservation. Participants have been engaged in observation and research throughout the year in their areas of interest, such as aquatic organisms, insects, birds, and plants, receiving technical advice and support from experts. Through the accumulation of such real-world experiences, this initiative serves as an opportunity for the younger generation, who will lead the next era, to actively engage with the local natural environment and deepen their expertise.

**From Mr. Sato of the General Incorporated Foundation for Sustainability Promotion**
"Until now, we have been working on projects to conserve satoyama (traditional Japanese agricultural landscapes) targeting youth, such as university students and young professionals, who will lead the next generation. And from 2025, within a time span of 100 years, to further expand the circle of generations, we launched a biodiversity survey of satoyama by junior and senior high school students in Hachioji City. In the forest that has been preserved and maintained by successive generations of youth, the next generation is now showing interest in the forest's diversity, feeling closer to the forest, and the conservation of satoyama is evolving into a wonderful cycle that is being passed on and spiraling up to the next generation."

"A season has passed since we had the opportunity to talk. Although I had visited Mt. Takao many times for flying squirrel surveys, it was difficult for a single club to apply for the installation of sensor cameras to obtain regular data, so I myself had a valuable experience. The interaction with classmates in Hachioji City and the knowledge provided by facilitators were real experiences that could not be gained within the school. In addition to 7 on-site surveys throughout the year, flexibly responding to bears and weather, we also conducted a poster presentation at the Tokyo Biology Club Federation in February under the title 'Results of Sensor Camera Survey in Ura-Takao' based on the data obtained. The Excel conversion of thousands of sensor camera photos for Sunday activities and presentations was a painstaking task, and I learned about the perseverance and infinite potential of our club members. I am grateful to the Takao forest for nurturing us and to everyone who provided this opportunity." **(Kogakuin University Junior and Senior High School)**
