Abstract
With increasing interest in food safety and low environmental impact, wildlife-friendly farming methods with reduced use of pesticides and chemical fertilizers have been introduced throughout Japan. The aim of such farming methods is to restore the agricultural ecosystem. A number of rice paddies cultivated using the above methods use iconic species such as the crested ibis Nipponia nippon (Sado City, Niigata Prefecture), Oriental white stork Ciconia boyciana (Toyooka City, Hyogo Prefecture), greater white-fronted goose Anser albifrons (Osaki City, Miyagi Prefecture), and nigorobuna carp Carassius auratus grandoculis (Takashima City, Shiga Prefecture) (Natuhara 2013).
