Launching the goo Home Project for growing coral in the seas of Okinawa

NTT Resonant, an NTT Communications Group company, launched the goo Home Project in November 2007. Conducted in cooperation with NPO AQUA PLANET, this project plants one coral fragment in the coastal waters of Chatan in Okinawa Prefecture for every 30 registrants on NTT Resonant's goo Home SNS site. As of July 2008, the project has resulted in 2,000 corals being planted in the seas of Okinawa.

170 hectares of DOCOMO Woods established in 37 locations across Japan

NTT DOCOMO has been implementing the DOCOMO Woods project since 1999 as an environmental protection activity. DOCOMO Woods are forests established by NTT DOCOMO in Japan utilizing resources such as the Corporate Forest*1 and Green Fund*2 programs. Five new locations were established in fiscal 2008 in Yamagata, Fukui, Kyoto, Kumamoto, and Nagasaki, expanding the total area of DOCOMO Woods to approximately 170 hectares in 37 locations as of the end of fiscal 2008.

NTT DOCOMO Group employees and their families get together every year to help maintain DOCOMO Woods, with 44 such events being held in fiscal 2008.

*1 Company Forest Program
This program operated by the Forestry Agency division of the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries aims to develop forest resources through the fixed-rate sharing of revenues from the sale of timber cultivated through private sector and government collaboration. Under the system, participating companies can either pay a portion of the expenses of managing a patch of national forest, or they can plant and manage trees in national forest areas themselves.

*2 Green Fund Program
This program allows the collection of donations each year during periods specified by the Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries under the name Green Fund based on the Green Fund Law (Japanese Law Number 88, 1995). Proceeds from such funds may only be used to promote forest management and tree planting activities.
