Practical study on shaping sustainable wildlife tourism in Okinawa

野生动物旅游在日本尚未建立。这项研究有助于塑造日本可持续的野生动物旅游，特别是以社区为基础的实践模式，作为Yanbaru的案例研究。延巴鲁目前在国内很有名，也是一个受欢迎的生态旅游目的地，因为它拥有日本本土未知的原始亚热带雨林环境。这项研究的结果是，通过与东道社区的合作，制作了一本了解该地区的指南。它包括观鸟指南，以正确观看冲绳铁路（galrallus冲绳岛，EN）。东道国有效参与规划和管理可以为野生动物旅游发展提供支持，并在社区学习过程的基础上提供额外的知识和劳动力来源。

Wildlife tourism in Japan is not yet well established. This study contributes to shaping sustainable wildlife tourism in Japan, particularly for a model of community-based practice as a case study in Yanbaru. Yanbaru is currently well-known domestically and is a popular ecotourism destination because of its pristine subtropical rainforest environment unknown on the Japanese mainland. As result of this study a guidebook to understand that area was produced by collaborative work with host community. It includes birdwatching guideline for watching Okinawa rail (Gallirallus okinawae, EN) properly. Effective host participation in planning and management can build support for wildlife tourism development and provides an additional source of knowledge and labour based on community leaning process.
