NACS-J – THE NATURE CONSERVATION SOCIETY OF JAPAN –

The Nature Conservation Society of Japan (NACS-J)

Our organisation has been active since 1951 along with many individuals, groups, and companies with the help of tens of thousands of supporters nationwide who aspire to have an amazing coexistence with people and nature.

We have been engaging in policy advocacy, research and investigations, community collaboration, capacity building, and public outreach. All based on scientific evidence to protect Japan's diverse and sometimes challenging nature and its interconnectedness with various forms of life.

To collaborate with global initiatives, we also serve as the secretariat for the Japan Committee of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN).

Our Vision

Making A New Path For Tomorrow,
With The Power of Nature

Our Mission

Our policy is to contribute in building the society
where people and rich nature can coexist in harmony, and every generation can spend life with happiness.

Fields of policy

The NACS-J approach is not only to stop development projects that does not take nature into account, but to utilise the lessons learned and apply them to policy advocacy activities for better social systems in the future.

Base of knowledge

NACS-J places their importance on incorporating a diverse sense of comprehension from sciences of natural and social backgrounds, as well as traditional local knowledges, into its conservation activities.

Partnership

NACS-J values partnerships with a wide range of stakeholders. For instance our members and supporters as nature guides, companies, local authorities, universities and research institutions, in the development of nature conservation activities.

Policy Impact

NACS-J began with the conservation of the Oze wetlands and has confronted development projects in the Ogasawara Islands, Shiretoko Peninsula and Shirakami mountain ranges. In addition to being implicated in specific development projects, NACS-J has long been involved in policy advocacy based on local activities.

NACS-J has influenced a wide range of legislations. In paarticular the legistration on Protected Areas System, the Environmental Impact Assessment, the World Heritage, the Endangered Species Conservation, the Invasive Alien Species and the National Biodiversity Plan and so on.

NACS-J initiatives have an impact on policy which extends from local area nature conservation to social mechanisms that conserve nature.

NACS-J is committed to working for nature conservation through partnerships with business and financial institution. With more than 300 collaborations a year, a diverse partnership with the aim to synergise the strengths of NACS-J as a specialist in nature with the strength of companies through financial, technological and human resources. For example, for 1% for the Planet, OXO supported NACS-J’s efforts to promote awareness and conservation of the sandy beach ecosystem. The NACS-J project, called the Sandy Beach Movement, has increased its conservation performance by three to five times with OXO’s support – an example of a successful partnership with a company that boosts the achievements of an unaffiliated NGO organisation.
