Descripción
The Kabukuri Wetlands and Winter-flooded paddies, initiated in 1996 as a result of growing concern among migratory bird conservationists about the shrinking wetlands in Miyagi prefecture. Joined by local farmers, this core group worked to convince local policy makers of the need for an initiative to not only preserve Kabukuri Wetlands acreage but increase winter feeding grounds for migratory birds by working with farmers to restore surrounding rice paddies into semi-natural man-made wetlands dur ing the non-farming winter months. And thus, the initiative was born on this historic Osaki plain of Miyagi prefecture, 30 km from the Pacific Ocean in what is referred to as Tohoku (northeastern) Japan.
