| Outline of Annual Research Achievements |
The main achievement was the development of the conceptual framework on how population ageing and shrinking might affect nature conservation efforts and priorities. This was achieved through a workshop, site visits and discussions with local stakeholders in Okinawa. The framework identifies dynamics affecting nature conservation, and points to the type of data required in each study site.

Current Status of Research Progress
3: Progress in research has been slightly delayed.
Reason
Due to the political situation in Myanmar, and the related security concerns and travel restrictions, it was not possible to visit the country and finalise all expected activities. These activities are expected to take place in FY2024.
|
| Strategy for Future Research Activity |
In FY2024 it is expected that the team will visit the study sites to conduct pilot studies before finalizing the final data collection instruments, provisionally for data collection at the end of the fiscal year. The team will also assess the feasibility of changing case studies from Fukushima to Ishikawa prefecture, as the recent earthquake provides an interesting study opportunity.
|
| Causes of Carryover |
The moved budget will be mostly used to cover trip in Myanmar as it was difficult to enter the country due to political instability in FY2023.
