      <image:title>Team - Richard Pearce CEO and Founder</image:title>
      <image:caption>Background: Studied Environmental Management at university in the United Kingdom. Conducted forest research in Tanzania and Madagascar and qualified as a Safari Guide in South Africa. Has been working as an adventure tourism and nature guide throughout Asia since 2013. Has been leading Japanese giant salamander conservation experiences 2018. Based in Tottori Prefecture for a total of 15 years. Interest: Richard has been obsessed with animals since he was a small child where he grew up in the beautiful Cotswolds area of England. African animals were his first love. Having moved to Tottori by chance in 2006, Richard fell in love with the sacred mountains of Daisen and Mitoku in Tottori Prefecture. Having spent years guiding and exploring these mountains, Richard's love and concern for these places has grown in tandem. Climate change and human development are having serious effects on the special nature of these places, particularly on the rivers, forests and farmland of Mount Daisen. Having grown aware of the increasing need to protect the Japanese giant salamander, the idea of creating an NPO to help protect all aspects of the natural environment was discussed and "Sustainable Daisen NPO" was born with Richard as its leader.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Background: Professor of wildlife ecology and conservation at Nanjing Forestry University, where he leads the Laboratory of Animal Behaviour and Conservation. In parallel, Professor Borzée serves as Co-Chair for the IUCN SSC Amphibian Specialist Group. Contributions: When Dr. Borzée began supporting our efforts in 2022, he was confronted with the distressing condition of the Japanese giant salamanders. In 2023, Dr. Amaël Borzée helped provide funding, organization, and leadership to a team of 15 researchers and students. Together they conducted extensive Japanese giant salamander habitat surveys in the Nawa river basin. After visiting three separate times, he remains dedicated to returning periodically, and personally guiding and advising on diverse projects aimed at the conservation of Japanese giant salamanders and the surrounding ecosystem.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Team - Jordy Groffen, MSc</image:title>
      <image:caption>Background: Jordy Groffen is a PhD candidate at James Cook University, Australia and has 10+ years of experience in animal conservation, behavior, and ecology. He has designed, built and installed different artificial shelter types to monitor populations (or individuals) of amphibian species around the globe including the Eastern Hellbender, a giant salamander species native to the United States. He currently studies the potential use of artificial shelters as a conservation tool to protect the critically endangered nursery frogs from climate change in Australia. Contributions: As a nest box specialist, Groffen has used this knowledge to develop and install 2 artificial shelters for the giant Japanese salamander during the 2023 Japanese giant salamander habitat surveys. Currently, he is testing two distinct artificial shelter designs in a natural stream with a relatively high density of salamanders. The primary focus of these artificial shelters is to provide a shelter and nesting site for adult Japanese giant salamanders. The ultimate objective is to determine the preferred design of these shelters and subsequently deploy additional units in degraded rivers, thereby increasing the availability of shelter and nesting sites for this vulnerable species.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Team - Kevin Messenger, PhD</image:title>
      <image:caption>Background: As a professor at Nanjing Forestry University zoology department, Dr. Kevin Messenger is an accomplished herpetologist and ecologist, with a primary focus on the behavior, ecology, natural history, and taxonomy of reptiles and amphibians in the southeastern United States and southeastern China. Dr. Messenger also takes the lead at the Herpetology and Applied Conservation Laboratory within the university. Simultaneously, he holds the position of co-coordinator for the IUCN Viper Specialist Group, East Asia. Dr. Messenger has authored "The Asian Ratsnakes and Kin of Greater China," a bilingual book (in English and Chinese) that functions as a comprehensive field guide and reference for this particular taxonomic group. The goal of this publication is to advance and spread scientific discovery by making it more accessible in the field. Contributions: Dr. Kevin Messenger conducted extensive aerial drone surveys of Japanese giant salamander habitats within the Nawa River basin. As a viper specialist, Dr. Messenger played a crucial role in the 2023 giant salamander habitat survey, particularly in documenting the nearby fauna.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Team - Tan Kai Yin</image:title>
      <image:caption>Background: Website Content Creator and Lesson Creator. Graduated from the National University of Singapore in 2018 with a B.Sc. (Hons.) in Life Sciences. Worked in Kochi, Japan from 2018-2021 as an Assistant Language Teacher (ALT) and has since been working as a Veterinary Nurse back in Singapore (2021-2022). Interest: Kai Yin loves animals and nature, and is an avid hiker. She has always been mesmerised by the rich mountains, forests, rivers and seas of Japan and cherishes every wildlife encounter she has had on her trips around the country. She finds the JGS very fascinating, not just because of their sheer size and peculiar (but endearing) morphology, but also for their interesting anatomy, unique behaviours and quiet living. She firmly believes that the JGS holds an important place in the ecosystem and heritage of Japan and, having much to learn from it, that we should all play an active part in protecting it.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Team - Stephanie Andrews</image:title>
      <image:caption>Background: Winery Staff and Design Hobbyist. Has lived in Japan since 2016. Interest in the project/wildlife/JGS: Has always loved animals and taken an interest in their well-being, volunteering at animal shelters and the like. Stephanie learned about the JGS and the struggles they’re facing via a call for help on social media. She was moved to help the cause in any way she could. After falling in love with their cute little toes, she wanted to showcase the JGS’s cuteness. She hopes everyone will fall in love with the JGS, too!</image:caption>

      <image:caption>リチャード ピアス 経歴 : イギリスの大学で環境マネジメントを学ぶ。タンザニアとマダガスカルで森林調査を行い、南アフリカではサファリガイドの資格を取得。2013年からアジアでアドベンチャー・ツーリズムやネイチャー・ガイドとして活動を開始。2018年からは、オオサンショウウオの保全活動を行っている。 関心事: イギリスの美しいコッツウォルズ地方で育ったリチャードは、幼い頃から動物に夢中で、アフリカの動物が彼の初恋でした。2006年に鳥取県に来たことをきっかけに、鳥取県の霊峰・大山と三徳に魅せられ、何年にもわたってこれらの山をガイドし、探検してきたリチャードは、これらの場所への愛情と関心をさらに深めてきました。気候変動と人間の活動は、これらの場所の特別な自然、特に大山の河川、森林、農地に深刻な影響を与えています。オオサンショウウオを保護する必要性が高まっていることに気づき、自然環境全般を保護するためのNPOを作ろうと決意し、リチャードをリーダーとする「NPO法人サステナブル大山」が誕生しました。</image:caption>

      <image:title>メンバー紹介 - Jordy Groffen, MSc</image:title>
      <image:caption>Background: Jordy Groffen is a PhD candidate at James Cook University, Australia and has 10+ years of experience in animal conservation, behavior, and ecology. He has designed, built and installed different artificial shelter types to monitor populations (or individuals) of amphibian species around the globe including the Eastern Hellbender, a giant salamander species native to the United States. He currently studies the potential use of artificial shelters as a conservation tool to protect the critically endangered nursery frogs from climate change in Australia. Contributions: As a nest box specialist, Groffen has used this knowledge to develop and install 2 artificial shelters for the giant Japanese salamander during the 2023 Japanese giant salamander habitat surveys. Currently, he is testing two distinct artificial shelter designs in a natural stream with a relatively high density of salamanders. The primary focus of these artificial shelters is to provide a shelter and nesting site for adult Japanese giant salamanders. The ultimate objective is to determine the preferred design of these shelters and subsequently deploy additional units in degraded rivers, thereby increasing the availability of shelter and nesting sites for this vulnerable species.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Background: Studied Ecology at Appalachian State University with a main focus on animal behavior and Herpetology. Has been working as an eikaiwa instructor and chef in Tokushima since 2018. Interest: Growing up I was always outside, hiking, camping, exploring, and most importantly searching for all new types of wildlife. There's not a single moment that sparked my interest in salamanders, but being lucky enough to live in an area where they were plentiful, they quickly became my natural obsession. Having worked closely with the JGS' American relative, the Hellbender, I was opened to the world of the largest living salamanders on Earth. Implementing conservation studies and practices from America could be key in helping where it is lacking here in Japan. Making a difference, not only for the JGS, but also their environment is what I'm hoping this project can achieve.</image:caption>
