In 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.
