WATERFOWLS IN SHIMO-IKE OYAMA (ARYA)
Waterfowl population is becoming the concern among researcher
and environmentalist. The population decrease caused by the decreasing of
wetlands number. In 1971, The Ramsar Convention was adopted where many countries
agree to preserve with wise of wetlands, especially for waterfowls. The
agreement held in Iran and Japan one of participant. The Ramsar Convention
advocates the wise use of wetland by human or industries needs in harmony with
the environmental. In Oyama area, Shimo-ike was built for agricultural purpose
but this lake also become habitat for more than 20.000 birds, for instance
swans, wild ducks and wild geese. This reservoir meet the standard of the Ramsar
Convention and registered as the first Ramsar site in Yamagata Prefecture. To
access this place you can use car, public bus or bicycle. If you use bicycle
like me, it will take 20-30 minute there. My recommendation, please come in the
autumn time closed with the winter season as you will see many waterfowls here.
Hopefully, I can research about waterfowl sometime sooner.
