In Yumeshima, salt marshes, which are now
declining nationwide, were formed by theinfluence of the sea breeze. There, seaside

Insects

On Yumeshima, an artificial island in Osaka Bay, which began to bereclaimed 40 years ago, grass grew on the land that was gradually
being reclaimed, insects lived there, birds gathered, and a diverse
ecosystem was born. This biodiversity-rich environment is a "treasure"that happened to be in Osaka.
However, Yumeshima is currently undergoing rapid development forthe 2025 World Expo. Where should those who live here go?
Most of the endangered creatures inhabited the ponds, wetlands, andreed fields of the Expo site, which is being reclaimed in Yumeshima.
However, the future is being robbed now for the event of half a year.

Designated as Endangered Category II (VU) by the Ministry of the Environment.
More than 1000 birds flew to Yumeshima, making it the largest landing site onHonshu.

The existence of salt marshes and reed beds on the site of the Expo planned to support many lives inYumeshima. Most notable species are found here. Because of these things, this place has become a“biodiversity hotspot”.
The nature of the coast of Osaka Bay has been lost from the early modern period to the present day. Thatnature has regenerated, albeit slightly, in Yumeshima, making it such a vibrant biodiversity hotspot. Thisfact is a big opportunity that can be a symbol for the 2025 World Expo, which is committed to the SDGs.
We are proposing to utilize the current saltmarsh and the reed fields that follow it as a 'nature restoration
area' for the Expo.
After the World Expo, it is possible to bring back the rich nature by carrying out nature restoration on thesite. We hope that Yumeshima will create a rich natural environment that can be used by wild creatures.

Remarkable wild birds confirmed at Yumeshima
Various natural environments are born in Yumeshima, and creatures according to the environment
gather,created a diverse ecosystem.
113 species of birds during our 3-year survey. 51 species have been found on the Red List (list ofendangered species) alone. Here are 47 species for which we were able to take photographs.
The rich environment that hosted these birds is now being lost to the Expo and IR plans.

many lives to the future
Yumeshima can be said to be a service area for migratory birds such as shorebirds,plovers, and ducks. A place to rest your wings, nourish and rest during your journeyof thousands of kilometers.
It is a hunting ground for raptors and a breeding and breeding ground for little terns,
stilts and small birds. Without this rich environment, all birds will be forced toreduce their numbers.

These creatures were mainly found in theponds, marshes, and reed fields ofYumeshima Ward 2.
As of January 2022, this area is being
reclaimed for the construction of the Expo.
The background is the scenery of the former
reed field on January 10, 2022.
