About the WebsiteThe participation of citizen volunteers plays an important role in the control and monitoring of invasive alien species. With the help of many volunteers, the continuing and detailed monitoring of invasive species can be performed with wide spatial coverage. We can also respond timely by understanding the current status of invasive species. This website focuses on Bombus terrestris as the model of invasive alien species, and aims at facilitating mutual communication between citizen volunteers and manager of the monitoring activity. In Hokkaido, Bombus terrestris is known to expand its habitation, which may give a serious impact on the symbiosis between native bumblebees and plants. We started the participatory capture program since 2006, which is a collaborative program with the Ministry of the Environment, and Hokkaido Prefecture Office. We believe that the real-time publication of information collected through the monitoring to citizens and governments is effective for efficient monitoring. This website provides our latest answer to questions such as "how many and where were B. terrestris already captured?," "Where can we catch B. terrestris?," and "How many B. terrestris have been captured?" You can browse when, where, and how many B. terrestris were captured in such forms as lists, maps, and graphs.
