| Research Abstract |
Through the period of 1999 to 1998, investigations on site were undertaken on main Japanese wetlands which are registered as Ramsar Convention sites. Materials were collected and researches were held from Kutcharo-ko in the North to Isahaya Bay in the South. Each site has its own characteristics. Investigations on interdisciplinary areas concerning agriculture, history, habitat of animals and plants other than waterfowls and so on, are included in our investigations to make our researches a comprehensive one. Analysis of data collected in these registered sites are also being undertaken

In our opinion, comparative studies are essential to know and situate Japanese present circumstances and status of Ramsar Convention sites in Japan.
At present, all the researchers, regularly making discussions, about material collections and data analysis, have started writing for the publication of the study which is expected to appear in the fall of 2001 (Publisher will be Maruzen Planet Co., Ltd).
Although we should have started writing and publish it during or immediately after the termination of the research term, we have taken sufficient time for material collection and analysis to publish the outcome into a book. Therefore, we are refraining from publishing any of our articles up to now. Less
