Policy influencing/advocacy

The number of tourist to come to Okinawa prefecture is increasing. At present 8,760,000 tourists annually. Okinawa prefecture set goal to increase the number as 17,000,000. Aamami oshima(island), Kagoshima prefecture, has the slimier tendency to increase the number of tourists. Both prefectures build new hotels and new ports and so on. However these prefectures don't enforce pathway management for introduction of invasive alien species.
We sent a request titled 'Request concerning the IUCN field mission of proposed World Heritage sites in Amami-Oshima Island, Tokunoshima Island, the northern part of Okinawa Island, and Iriomote Island' to IUCN last march. In this request we stated the above problem as well. http://www.nacsj.or.jp/archive/2017/03/3830/ |
