    JAPAN OKINAWA THE NEW HAWAII ©Alessandro Gandolfi Island of Kouri, tourists going down to the beach known as Heart Rocks. The number of tourists visiting Okinawa surpassed the number of tourists visiting Hawaii The objective is to reach 12 million visitors in the next few years Okinawa occupies a strategic position at the centre of the Pacific, easily reachable from China, Korea, and Taiwan What attracts tourists are the archipelago’s beauties as well as the huge number of low-cost flights The majority of tourists are Japanese, who see Okinawa as an exotic location with its own language and traditions Naha, a guide inside one of the rooms of Shuri Castle, the residence of the kings and the religious centre of the Ryūkyū Kingdom. Island of Kouri, tourists buying a drink in the car park at the beach of Heart Rocks. Nago, a water playground at Lawson Kariyushi Beach Resort. Cape Hedo, a surfer on a beach along the northernmost promontory of the island. How the islands of Okinawa are becoming the queen of the Pacific They are already calling it “the new Hawaii”: Okinawa, the tropical paradise for vacationing Japanese, the group of islands that, reaching almost 10 million tourists in 2019, in terms of visitors has surpassed the American archipelago. But the objective – after the covid pandemic – is even more ambitious: Okinawa wants to become the uncontested queen of the Pacific. Famous for the 1945 battle of the same name, Okinawa is also famous for being a so-called “blue zone”, an area with a particularly long-lived population.

    Community Engagement with Wildlife Conservation in Japan: A Case Study of an Endangered Bird, the Okinawa Rail (Hypotaenidia okinawae) MADELEINE SBEGHEN University of Queensland ABSTRACT As host of the 2010 Nagoya Biodiversity Summit, Japan reaffi rmed its eff orts to conserve biodiversity for future generations. Rebuilding relationships with nature and strengthening conservation education are key priorities of Japan’s biodiversity conservation agenda to improve outcomes for threatened species and local communities. Th is paper examines community engagement with the critically endangered Okinawa Rail (Hypotaenidia okinawae), an endemic bird of the Yanbaru forests of northern Okinawa, with reference to the conservation context in Japan. Since discovery of the Okinawa Rail in 1981, communities in Yanbaru have developed a strong relationship with this species, recognising it as an important symbol of regional cultural identity and as a unique ecological asset that attracts visitors and underpins community events. Th is has translated into investment by government and community stakeholders in conservation education facilities and public awareness campaigns for To link to this article: the Okinawa Rail in Yanbaru.

PeerJ 7:e7520 https://doi.org/10.7717/peerj.7520 The expanding wall and the shrinking beach: Loss of natural coastline in Okinawa Island, Japan Giovanni D Masucci Corresp., 1 , James D Reimer 1, 2 1 Molecular Invertebrate Systematics and Ecology Laboratory, Graduate School of Engineering and Science, University of the Ryukyus, Nishihara, Okinawa, Japan 2 Tropical Biosphere Research Center, University of the Ryukyus, Nishihara, Okinawa, Japan Corresponding Author: Giovanni D Masucci Email address: [email protected] Okinawa is the largest and most populated island of the Ryukyu Archipelago in southern Japan and is renowned for its natural resources and beauty. Similar as to what has been happening in the rest of the country, Okinawa Island has been affected by an increasing amount of development and construction work. The trend has been particularly acute after reversion to Japanese sovereignty in 1972, following 27 years of post-war American administration. A coastline once characterized by extended sandy beaches surrounded by coral reefs now includes vast portions delimited by seawalls, revetments, and other human-made hardening structures. Additionally, a significant part of coastal Okinawa Island is now constituted by artificially reclaimed land. Nevertheless, the degree of severity of the current situation is unclear, due to the lack of both published studies and easily accessible and updated datasets.

  • Ryukyu Islands March 2017
    Ryukyu Islands March 2017 Iriomote, Ishigaki & Okinawa Ryukyu Serpent Eagle, Iriomote Island Ryukyu Islands, March 2017 Iriomote, Ishigaki & Okinawa Introduction This report sets out a week visiting Iriomote, Ishigaki and Okinawa Islands, Japan, with Shaun Coyle. Pre-trip Logistics The various trip reports posted on Cloudbirders (www.cloudbirders.com) for the region were accessed prior to the trip. The recent report from Mans Grundsten et al, 2016 provided some very useful GPS points for sites on Okinawa, some of which are reproduced below from our visit. We also obtained some great information from recent trips to Okinawa by Sue Bryan & Gunnar Engblom, Paul French and also Ross Gallardy, who was based there for a while. Another very useful recent trip report on Birdforum from Adam Bowley from March 2016 includes more information for Okinawa. Tom Marko (2012) A Birder’s Guide to Okinawa, and the extensive information in the Japan Nature Guides website, are also good sources of information, worth consulting prior to a trip. We couldn’t find much information (in English at least) for Ishigaki and Iriomote Island, but a trip report from Gerry Hinchon, May 2015 provides some information for Ishigaki. Ebird is becoming a great resource for updated bird sightings, and if time permits, would be worth checking prior to a visit. Care needs to be taken that locations provided there may not always be accurate. Thanks to Keiko Mori for help with hire car logistics on Okinawa. Bird calls were obtained from the excellent Xeno Canto (www.xeno-canto.org). Thanks are extended to all above who have provided information and/or resources.
