  • Mt. Hakusan, Central Japan 白山におけるニホ
    石川県立自然史資料館研究報告 第１号 Bulletin of the Ishikawa Museum of Natural History, 1: 15-30 (2011) The Japanese serow’s colonisation of areas formerly inhabited by humans: Mt. Hakusan, central Japan Akinori MIZUNO 白山におけるニホンカモシカの人間領域への侵入 水 野 昭 憲 Abstract This study examines the relationship between the distribution of the Japanese serow (Capricornis crispus, Bovidae, Artiodactyla) and human activities in the Mt. Hakusan area, central Japan. Information on former patterns of distribution of the serow was collected by interviewing regional residents and hunters. Around 3,000 observation records from each 1-km grid were analysed. The expansion of the serow habitat in Ishikawa prefecture can be observed at intervals of ten years, beginning in 1955. Over 50 years, the extent of the habitat expanded from 300 km2 in 1955 to 1,500 km2 in 2005. Despite its legal prohibition, serow hunting for meat and fur continued on a small scale until the 1960s. The practices of shifting cultivation and charcoal making on the mountains had rapidly declined by this time. As a result, large areas have since become available to wild animals. The habitat of the serow has expanded from the highlands to the lowlands and from steep areas to flatter areas. In the foothills, because people have stopped cultivating small rice fields and have taken jobs in urban areas, the landscape, which was once dominated by timber production, now predominantly has natural vegetation. The general attitude towards wildlife has also shifted because of changes in lifestyle and greater awareness of the need for con- servation of natural resources. Therefore, the serows have largely lost their fear of humans.

Bobrowsky, Burnaby, BC, Canada Jesu´s Martı´nez-Frı´as, Madrid, Spain Spectacular geo-morphological landscapes and regions with special geological features or mining sites are becoming increasingly recognized as critical areas to protect and conserve for the unique geoscientific aspects they represent and as places to enjoy and learn about the science and history of our planet. More and more national and international stakeholders are engaged in projects related to “Geoheritage”, “Geo-conservation”, “Geoparks” and “Geotourism”; and are positively influencing the general perception of modern Earth Sciences. Most notably, “Geoparks” have proven to be excellent tools to educate the public about Earth Sciences; and they are also important areas for recreation and significant sustain- able economic development through geotourism. In order to develop further the understanding of Earth Sciences in general and to elucidate the importance of Earth Sciences for Society, the “Geoheritage, Geoparks and Geotourism Conservation and Management Series” has been launched together with its sister “GeoGuides” series. Projects developed in partnership with UNESCO, World Heritage and Global Geoparks Networks, IUGS and IGU, as well as with the ‘Earth Science Matters’ Foundation will be considered for publication. This series aims to provide a place for in-depth presentations of developmental and management issues related to Geoheritage and Geotourism in existing and potential Geoparks. Individually authored monographs as well as edited volumes and conference proceedings are welcome; and this book series is considered to be complementary to the Springer-Journal “Geoheritage”.

He always keeps my interest in photography up and makes me keep striving for the perfect photo. He also often makes me think of the expression “when the going gets tough, the tough keep going.” Without my partner it has to also be noted that I most likely would not have climbed any of these mountains. Secondly, it is dedicated to my mother and father, bless them, for tolerating and even encouraging my photography hobby from the time I was twelve years old. And, finally, it is dedicated to my friends who have encouraged me to create books of photographs which I have taken while doing mountain climbing.

Summer Experience II. Winter Experience Covering Sustainable Development Goals from Mount Hakusan Biosphere Reserve Students’ comments on life in Shiramine Questionnaire Acknowledgement Purpose of this manual To act towards the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), it is crucial the enrolment of the higher institutions, as they play main role in national development, and they are main educational force to raise the awareness about the social, economic and environmental issues. Also, SDGs are covering particular range of subjects like, agriculture, health, energy, industry, infrastructure, etc, and educational institutions can significantly contribute weather in research, teaching or community engagement. It is the main role of the academic institutions to develop a training course where students can acquire integrative knowledge and monitor how different socio- economical and environmental sectors depend on each other, and function in an integrative manner. It is important to provide the opportunity for the students to directly collaborate with communities and to address local issues, to monitor the sources of those issues and how the issues of one country are similar with other countries.

  • First-Day Scenic and Swordguard Cancellations on National Park Issues
    232 August 2016 JAPANESE PHILATELY, VOL. 71 : NO. 4 _______________________________________________________________________________ First-Day Scenic and Swordguard Cancellations on National Park Issues This article incorporates some updated information identified subsequent to the publication of the August 2016 issue. by Anker Nielsen Introduction These days, new stamp issues, such as Commemorative and Special issues and Greetings issues, which have a more “national” character, have special pictorial first-day cancels that are used at officially designated post offices. For the more localized Prefectural issues there is no special pictorial cancel authorized, but instead the designated first-day post office(s) uses its scenic datestamp as a first-day pictorial datestamp. This latter practice of using scenic datestamps was also employed in the now discontinued National Park issues. It is easy to find covers with first-day cancellations from the National Park issues. Many covers were never sent through the post (i.e., purposely unaddressed) and have only a scenic datestamp(s) cancelling the stamps. If sent within Japan it should also have a domestic comb cancel, and if sent to a foreign country it should also have a roman-letter cancellation. For those National Park stamps issued from April 1952 this roman-letter cancellation will be a swordguard. The most interesting first-day covers to collect are those sent overseas from a designated post office within the park. A number of these are rather small and many started using a scenic datestamp only from the first day that its relevant national park stamp(s) was issued. Sometimes the post office got its swordguard canceller especially for that day.

    IUCN Publications New Series No. 27 1973 United Nations List of National Parks and Equivalent Reserves Prepared by the Secretariat of IUCN with the advice and guidance of the IUCN International Commission on National Parks 19 4 8 International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources 1110 Morges, Switzerland 1973 The International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources (IUCN) is an independent international body, formed in 1948, which has its headquarters in Morges, Switzerland. It is a Union of sovereign states, govern- ment agencies and non-governmental organizations concerned with the initia- tion and promotion of scientifically-based action that will ensure perpetuation of the living world - man's natural environment - and the natural resources on which all living things depend, not only for their intrinsic cultural or scientific values but also for the long-term economic and social welfare of mankind. This objective can be achieved through active conservation programmes for the wise use of natural resources based on scientific principles. IUCN believes that its aims can be achieved most effectively by international effort in cooperation with other international agencies, such as Unesco and FAO. The World Wildlife Fund (WWF) is an international charitable organization dedicated to saving the world's wildlife and wild places, carrying out the wide variety of programmes and actions that this entails. WWF was established in 1961 under Swiss law, with headquarters also in Morges. Since 1961, IUCN has enjoyed a symbiotic relationship with its sister organiza- tion, the World Wildlife Fund, with which it works closely throughout the world on projects of mutual interest.
