  • A Sustainable Ecosystem? Japan's Shirakami Sanchi World Heritage Area
    A SUSTAINABLE ECOSYSTEM? JAPAN’S SHIRAKAMI SANCHI WORLD HERITAGE AREA Robert J. Mason Temple University Philadelphia, US “Nature” has generally been regarded more as a threat than as a source of solace in Japan. When the Japanese think of nature they think of the typhoons and earthquakes that have been a recurrent feature of Japanese life, not of undeveloped wilderness areas or the peaceful countryside. Moreover, the Japanese do not give the protection of animals the priority it has in the West. Until recently Japan continued to permit the import of products made from endangered species, such as ivory, whose import had been restricted by almost all other industrial countries. And while Japan has promised to reduce the number of fishing boats that use nets that kill marine mammals, it remains the only major industrial nation that continues to engage in whaling. From Norman J. Vig and Michael E. Kraft. 1996. Environmental Policy in the 1990s: Reform or Reaction?, Congressional Quarterly Books. JAPAN’S ENVIRONMENTALISM: PRO •CO2 & other emissions per capita • Technology leader-energy efficiency, pollution control • "Protection" of domestic forests • Traditional respect for nature • Stable population • Food production/sources/quality JAPAN’S ENVIRONMENTALISM: CON • Japan's "shadow"--tropical timber, golf courses in SE Asia, Hawaii, relocation of industrial facilities, high-tech waste. • Japan as construction state. • Land use concerns: golf courses, resort development. • Ecological concerns: e.g. forest biodiversity, wetlands, coastal ecology • Endangered species trade • Whaling? • Driftnet fishing; bluefin tuna • Nuclear power • Smoking rate/Indoor Air Quality • LIMITED CIVIC INFRASTRUCTURE • Japan as Asian development model?-- development first, environmental protection later.
