SIS)– 2017 Version Information Sheet on EAA Flyway Network Sites Information Sheet on EAA Flyway Network Sites (SIS)– 2017 version Available for download from http://www.eaaflyway.net/information-sites-maps.php#japan Categories approved by Second Meeting of the Partners of the East Asian-Australasian Flyway Partnership inBeijing, China 13-14 November 2007 - Report (Minutes) Agenda Item 3.13 Notes for compilers: 1. The management body intending to nominate a site for inclusion in the East Asian - Australasian Flyway Site Network is requested to complete a Site Information Sheet. The Site Information Sheet will provide the basic information of the site and detail how the site meets the criteria for inclusion in the Flyway Site Network. When there is a new nomination or an SIS update, the following sections with an asterisk (*), from Questions 1-14 and Question 30, must be filled or updated at least so that it can justify the international importance of the habitat for migratory waterbirds. 2. The Site Information Sheet is based on the Ramsar Information Sheet. If the site proposed for the Flyway Site Network is an existing Ramsar site then the documentation process can be simplified. 3. Once completed, the Site Information Sheet (and accompanying map(s)) should be submitted to the Flyway Partnership Secretariat. Compilers should provide an electronic (MS Word) copy of the Information Sheet and, where possible, digital versions (e.g. shapefile) of all maps. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - 1.

General overview of the site*: A brief (two sentences)summary of the site, mentioning principal physical and ecological functions, and its importance for migratory waterbirds. Arao-higata is located on the eastern side of the central part of the Sea of Ariake which is surrounded by Kumakoto, Fukuoka, Saga, and Nagasaki prefectures in the northwestern Kyusyu Island. The distance from north to south is 9.1 km, the maximum width from east to west is 3.2 km and the area covers 1,656 ha, one of the largest single tidal flats within Japan. The Sea of Ariake, developed from a shallow tidal flat, is an inland sea with the greatest tidal range in Japan. Arao-higata support a rich benthic fauna, including polychaete worms, crabs and shellfish. Many migratory waterbirds fly to this area to feed on these rich and productive tidal flats. Shorebirds are roosting on the beach at high tide. 10. Justification of Flyway Site Network criteria*: Please provide waterbird count information (with year of latest count) that demonstrates that the site meets the criteria of the Flyway Site Network (Annex 1). That is: it regularly supports > 20 000 migratory waterbirds; or, it regularly supports > 1 % of the individuals in a population of one species or subspecies of migratory waterbird; or, it supports appreciable numbers of an endangered or vulnerable population of migratory waterbird it is a “staging site” supporting > 5 000 waterbirds, or > 0.25% of a population stage at the site.

  • Gliding Ability of the Siberian Flying Squirrel Pteromys Volans Orii
    Mammal Study 32: 151–154 (2007) © the Mammalogical Society of Japan Gliding ability of the Siberian flying squirrel Pteromys volans orii Yushin Asari1,2, Hisashi Yanagawa2,* and Tatsuo Oshida2 1 The United Graduate School of Agricultural Science, Iwate University, Morioka 020-8550, Japan 2 Laboratory of Wildlife Ecology, Obihiro University of Agriculture and Veterinary Medicine, Obihiro 080-8555, Japan Abstract. Forest fragmentation is a threat to flying squirrel population due to dependence on gliding locomotion in forests. Therefore, it is essential to understand their gliding ability. The gliding locomotion of Pteromys volans orii, were observed from July 2003 to June 2005, in Obihiro, Hokkaido, Japan. The horizontal distance and glide ratio obtained from 31 glides were employed as indicators to know their gliding ability. The gliding ability was not affected by weight and sex in the Siberian flying squirrel. Mean horizontal distance and glide ratio were 18.90 m and 1.70 with great variation. Although maximum values were 49.40 m (horizontal distance) and 3.31 (glide ratio), most of the horizontal distance and glide ratio were in the ‘10–20 m’ and ‘1.0–1.5’, respectively. Therefore, to retain the flying squirrel populations, forest gaps should not exceed the distance traversable with a glide ratio of 1.0 (distance between forests/tree height at the forest edg). Key words: gliding ability, gliding ratio, horizontal distance, Pteromys volans orii. The Siberian flying squirrel, Pteromys volans, ranges The key purposes of gliding may be to avoid predators over northern parts of the Eurasia, and from Korea to or to minimize the energy costs of moving (Goldingay Hokkaido, Japan.

  • Japan, the West, and the Whaling Issue: Understanding the Japanese Side
    Routledge Taylor & Fronds CroL Japaiij the West^ and the whaling issue: understanding the Japanese side AMY L. CATALINAC AND GERALD CHAN Abstract: This article examines the current dispute over whaling from the per- spective of Japan, a country that is fiercely protective of its right to whale. It outlines the key role played by transnational environmental actors in defining and instituting an international norm of anti-whaling, symbolized in the passage of the moratorium on commercial whaling in 1982. This signalled a rejection of previously held attitudes towards the use of whales as natural resources and the embracing of a protectionist, hands-off approach. Support for this new stance however was not forthcoming from pro-whaling states Japan, Norway and Iceland. By analysing Japan's original objection to the moratorium, its later compliance and its commitment to the resumption of limited commercial whaling, this article outlines the principles that underpin Japan's whaling policy. While the Japanese government views the whaling dispute as a threat to resource security and also a danger to inter-state respect for differences in custom and cuisine, the need to be perceived as a responsible member of international society exercises a major influence on the formation of Japan's whaling policy, conditioning its rule compli- ance and prohibiting the independent action pursued by other pro-whaling states. Recent developments in the whaling dispute, however, may be enough to dislodge Japan's commitment to the moratorium, which would impact upon the legitimacy of the International Whaling Commission itself. Keywords: Japanese whaling, international norms, rule compliance, environ- mental movements, international legitimacy Introduction During the meeting of the International Whaling Commission each year, con- siderable outrage is directed towards Japan by anti-whaling countries and envi- ronmental non-governmental organizations for its desire to hunt and eat whales.

  • Habitat and Prey Resource Overlap Between the Iriomote Cat
    Mammal Study 28: 47–56 (2003) © the Mammalogical Society of Japan Habitat and prey resource overlap between the Iriomote cat Prionailurus iriomotensis and introduced feral cat Felis catus based on assessment of scat content and distribution Shinichi Watanabe*, Nozomi Nakanishi and Masako Izawa Faculty of Science, University of the Ryukyus, Nishihara, Okinawa 903-0213, Japan Abstract. The Iriomote cat Prionailurus iriomotensis occurs only on Iriomote Island in the Ryukyu Archipelago of southern Japan. The population is estimated at 100 individuals and is on the decline. We examined resource overlap for prey and habitat between this species and introduced cats Felis catus by scat census and analysis of scat contents. The distribution of scats was completely different between the two species. The distribution of scats from Iriomote cats was associated with environmental factors such as vegetation types and terrain conditions, while the distribution of scats from feral cats mainly depended on locations of garbage dumps. Although the feral cat heavily utilized human rubbish, it also preyed upon thirteen species of native animals, ten of which were also used by Iriomote cats. From 1997 to 2001, the number of observed scats from Iriomote cats declined significantly, while feral cat scat became more common. Feral cats on Iriomote Island still depend on humans, but the expansion of their distribution into habitats of Iriomote cats may increase the competition for prey and habitat resources in the future. Key words: Felis catus, habitat use, interspecific competition, introduced species, Prionailurus iriomotensis. Introduced species often greatly affect local fauna and status or even extinction (Kitching and Jones 1981; King flora through predation, resource competition and 1984).
