Supporting Nature Restoration

TAMRON’s Omiya head office continues to support the nature restoration project carried out by the Ecosystem Conservation Society-Saitama together with local citizen groups at the Shibakawa Daiichi Flood Control Reservoir and surrounding areas. Many years ago the Minuma Tambo area of the reservoi rarea was an abundant wetland with white herons. Today thereservoir continues to see a number of wildfowl such as swans and even short-toed eagles visit the area to feed.
