| Research Abstract |
Due to the series of restrictive protection measures taken by Chinese Government for protection of the endangered species Crested Ibid Nipponia Nippon, its total population in China has increased from 7 at the time of rediscovery in 1981 to over 1,000 in 2007. However, conflict between protecting the species and developing the local agricultural economy has emerged in the process of rapid economic development in China.
The farmers began to consider the protection measures as limiting to local economic development. Farmers are eager to use modern agricultural inputs such as chemical fertilizer and to add wheat cultivation to paddy expecting higher yield from their limited holdings. This would definitely degrading ecosystem of paddy fields where ibid feed itself. Therefore, it is urgent that those restrictive protection measures are converted into inductive ones in order to create suitable environment for both farmers and wild animals. Chinese government encourages participatory measures of protection and organic farming, which definitely requires local level participation in changing farming system and their life style.
1) Those measures taken in Yang County to expand organic (green) agriculture in order to harmonize agricultural development with protection of wild ibis are applicable to Sado. Main organic agriculture products in China is pear and rice in Sado. Market are expanding in both cases. They can earn higher income from the organic products.
2) The report also aims to evaluate the capacity of the region for the reintroduction of crested ibis applying geographic information system (GIS). This study compared landscape of the habitat between Sado and Yang County in China and succeeds in getting the pictures showing the similar factors.
