JAPAN'S WILDLIFE

Destruction of wildlife

• Development in the world
• Hunting- Americans hunt more than the Japanese
• New species
• Habitat loss
• Degregation (the process of being humiliated)
• Fragmentation (the process of being broken into smaller parts)

Where?

• Animals that live in forests, lakes, and coastal environments (most of them) are affected
• Japan is covered in forest
• It is subtropical in the southern part of Honshu
• The borreal forests are in Hokkaido and there are highlands in Honshu
• 67% is forest and, of that, 40% is plantation forest

Destructive Wildlife

• Deer, wild boar, monkeys, and other "creatures" can cause damage
• They cause a damage of 20 billion yen ($167,567,400) worth of damage

Government Reacts

• The government have put fences around Japan for the destructive wildlife
• In one village, they have put chains across a ravine with 8,000 volts of electricity
• They have taken human consideration in the hunting issue
