Research Abstract |
Kagoshima is an island prefecture with the second largest number of islands in Japan. The distance between north and south in Kagoshima is approximately 600 kilometers. The islands in Kagoshima are primarily located in the sub-tropical zone. Because the Amami Islands are located in the middle of the Island of the Way, they have been influenced by Yamato culture from the north and Ryukyu culture from the south. Conservation of nature is essential to preserve these beautiful and highly diversified natural environments and to protect the native animal species, such as the Amami black rabbit, which inhabits the Amami Islands.This research reported the diversity of nature, culture and society.
