JAMBO is always on the lookout for a project which combines environmental protection with human development, and it is particularly difficult to find such endeavours in Japan. Fortunately, JAMBO has been presented with the opportunity to give half of the funds for an ideal project in Tohoku, supporting the expansion of bee colonies (which are in steady decline around the world) to pollinate the newly planted Yuzu orchard, a win-win situation which helps improve the natural environment while supporting people’s (who had been devastated by the 2011 earthquake and Tsunami) livelihoods. It’s because of your support that such wonderful projects can happen. Here is description of the project which you made possible.
On Ajishima (Tohoku), the islanders are in the process of developing a yuzu (Japanese citrus fruit) grove as part of their larger effort to grow and produce items that can highlight Ajishima and be utilized in souvenirs and other island specialities. They already have the trees organised and will be planting them this coming autumn. As yuzu is pollinated by bees, which are in decline everywhere, they want to add a bee hive to the yuzu grove to ensure a healthy ecosystem. They are committed to not using harmful chemicals or pesticides that contribute to the bee colonies’ demise, and have already planted many herbs and flowers in the grove that are known to benefit bees. If they can establish the bee colony before planting the yuzu trees, then the longevity of both can be ensured. Half of the funding required for the bee hive will be provided by a kind donation from JAMBO, who have also already supported other projects on Oshika.
