Mejirozaka Living Environment Preservation League was founded in 2007 by citizens of Bunkyo Ward, Tokyo, to initiate a movement to protect neighboring woods from over development by Sekisui House, and Bunkyo Municiple Government.

Members of the League are not just people who live in the neighborhood, but also people who love scenary of the area and anyone who wishes to protect the woods where many wild animals such as Japanese raccoon live. Japanese raccoons are endangered fauna in Tokyo, and especially in the urban district like Mejirozaka, the racoons have been decreasing year by year. Not like American racoons, Japanese racoons are friendly and very cute.

The League has been in action to protest against Bunkyo Ward Government for its lackadaisical policy making for nature protection, and currently brought the local government to the Tokyo Municiple Court to blank out the development permission to the land owner of the woods, Sekisui House.
