The wide range of vegetation and its rarity

 There is a wide range of vegetation that live in warm to cold climates depending on the mountain's height in the Sobo, Katamuki, and Okue Range, where many high-altitude natural forests exist. In the limited area on this precious land, rare animals and plants are inhabiting, such as the Japanese serow, a unique biological protected species, and the "Sohayaki element*" plant, representing the origin of the Japanese archipelago. As many rare animals and plants are at risk of extinction, the rangeland environment must be conserved with care.
*Sohayaki element: A species endemic to Japan commonly found in the mountainous areas of Kii, Shikoku, and Kyushu, which have made the land among the Japanese archipelago.
