The harvest mouse is the smallest mouse in Japan. The species inhabits grass field such as Japanese pampas grass Miscanthus sinensis. Grass field bears a role important for Satoyama's biodiversity. In recent years, grass fields has been decreasing rapidly by human activities. As this reason, the shortage of an understanding about the importance of grass field found from preservation of biodiversity can be considered. We want citizens to understand the importance of grass field through this investigation. We want also citizens to get volition about the conservation of grass field.
