For coexistence between river ecosystems and human
communities
The Foundation for Riverfront Improvement and Restoration was established
in 1987. Its purpose is to perform comprehensive research and technical
development, in regard to the ideal situation, conservation, use and improvement
of river, lake and seacoast environment, as well as the conservation and
restoration of ecosystems, and to apply the research results to wider areas
in society, thus contributing to ensuring safe, fertile and water-rich
land.
The foundation is actively promoting
research & development by building networks with academic experts and
others on comprehensive and leading-edge themes concerning waterfronts
including rivers or close relations between the government and residents, and
asking for their advice. Taking advantage of nature as a public interest
corporation, we engage in preparing various kinds of accurate and unbiased
manuals, guidelines, etc., and transmitting up-to-date technical information
through long-term independent study and collection/accumulation of various information.
As a result, we believe we can greatly contribute to the improvement,
conservation and utilization of waterfront areas including rivers.
