Biodiversity Estimation of the Biosphere Reserves

在日本的屋久岛、白山、志贺根和乌代原/乌明四个生物圈保护区进行了以生物圈保护区的动植物为主要对象的全国清查调查；重点阐述了生态系统的生态特征及其生物多样性；(1)收集了以前关于区域历史和植物区系的数据。(2)收集生物多样性的可比数据，将生物多样性划分为生物圈保护区的三个特征类别：使用频率、保护模式和与人类的关系。(3)收集关于“保护和可持续利用生物多样性国家战略”所提出的问题的数据，该战略包括保护野生动物和植被能够继续以可持续方式存在的环境（生态系统）；对近二十年来发生的环境变化及其影响的阐述；收集几种类型的地图信息并将其转化为数据，此外还有作为比较过去和现在某一点的基础的植被图，以及收集有关特定类型植被生长/发展生态分布的数据。考虑到今年是出版的最后一年，数据将在联合国教科文组织/MAB日本生物圈保护区目录中统一提交；第二版报告，将于2007年3月发表。此外，我们一直在东亚和东北亚的生物圈保护区国际网络中，在泰国和柬埔寨等国家开展伙伴关系和联合研究。

A National Inventory survey realized in four areas designated as biosphere reserves in Japan: Yakushima, Hakusan, Shiga-Kogen and Oodaigahara /Oomine, in which the subject matters are mainly the flora ad fauna at biosphere reserves; it was elaborated a list of local flora and fauna, and its distributional areas, focusing ecological characteristics and their biodiversity as ecosystems:(1) Collection of previously stated data on regional history and floristics.(2) Collection of comparable data on biodiversity divided in the three characteristic categories of biosphere reserves : frequency of use, pattern of conservation and relation with human-beings.(3) Collection of data concerning questions raised at the "National Strategy for the Conservation and Sustainable Use of Biological Diversity" consisting of the conservation of the environments (ecosystems) in which wilding and vegetation can continue to exist in sustainable ways ; the elucidation of environmental changes that have been taking place in the last twenty years, as well as their influences; collecting and transforming map information of several types into data, in addition to vegetation maps made as basis for comparison between some point in the past and the present day and collection of data concerning the growth/development ecological distribution of particular types of vegetation.Considering this is the final year of publications, data will be presented in unison at the CATALOGUE OF UNESCO/MAB BIOSPHERE RESERVES IN JAPAN ; Version II" report, to be issued in March, 2007. In addition, we have been implementing partnerships and joint researches within the biosphere reserve international network in East and Northeast Asia, in countries such as Thailand and Cambodia.
