“SATOYAMA” Conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity
Rich biodiversity
Various type of “SATOYAMA”
Sustainable use
SATOYAMA, or Satoyama landscape, can be found between the cities and the deep mountains. It consists of farming and forestry communities and the secondary environments that surround them. These rich environments have been formed by long-term sustainable use of limited regional resources by the local people. An important feature of the SATOYAMA is that various types of environments, including vegetable fields and orchards, rice paddies, irrigation ponds and ditches, pastures, managed grasslands, and coppices and other secondary woodlands, are distributed in a complicated mosaic pattern.
Traditional culture
Selection of “Important SATOYAMA”•Selection “Important SATOYAMA” areas which should be maintained and inherited to the future generations (300 important SATOYAMA)
Sustainable use of natural resources•Promotion of eco-friendly agriculture•Promotion of ecotourism and biomass use
Mechanisms by which various entities manage as common recourses
