Acci�nDescripciónStatus
Influencia pol�tica/promoci�n de pol�ticasIn 2017, the Japanese government nominated the Northern Part of Okinawa Island (NPOI), Japan, for UNESCO World Natural Heritage status. The government's nomination dossier did not provide, in our view, sufficient information on the possibilities that invasive species could be introduced to Okinawa through the use of soil and rocks transported from areas outside Okinawa for the construction of a military base near the NPOI. Thus, in 2017, we provided the IUCN World Heritage Programme additional information on the possibilities. On-going
Indique cuáles han sido los resultados/logros obtenidos en el marco de las actividades realizadas: 
In its 2018 Evaluations report, the World Heritage Programme stated

"The mission also provided the opportunity to consider questions raised on the naval base, and confirmed, in relation to World Heritage considerations, that this development is distant from the nominated property. The key issue in this development of relevance to World Heritage, in common with any other projects involving land-claim in Okinawa, is to ensure a rigorous level of protection from any introductions from IAS resulting from either construction activities or operations. IUCN has indicated, as a separate matter to the World Heritage nomination, the willingness to contribute technical expertise on this matter if so requested by the Government of Japan." (p.46)

We appreciate the IUCN WH Programme's consideration and offer to provide further technical expertise on the IAS issues to the Japanese government.
