The black bear, the serow and 87 species of birds can be found in this forest. Yakushima 30°20’N/130°30’E 10,747 1993 Located in the interior of Yaku Island, at the meeting point of the palearctic and oriental biotic regions, Yakushima exhibits a very rich flora, with some 1,900 species and subspecies, including ancient specimens of the sugi (Japanese cedar). It also contains a remnant of a warm-temperate ancient forest, unique in the region. Ramsar Sites Name Latitude/Longitude Area (ha) Date of inscription Akkeshi-ko and Bekambeushi-shitsugen 43°03’N/144°54’E 4,896 1993 Principal features: Akkeshi Lake is a brackish water lake with inflow from the Bekambeushi River, and a connection to the sea via a narrow channel. The lake is 11m deep at the deepest point, and is surrounded by wetlands and plateaux. Some areas of salt marsh occur around the lake. Bekambeushi Mire occurs at the mouth of the river. The mire is composed of extensive fens and some bogs along the basin of the river. Bekambeushi Mire maintains the balance of underground water and control floods, as well as supporting the fishery of oysters and clams in Akkeshi Lake. Conservation issues: Within the site, the state owns the land around the publicly- owned lake. Surrounding areas are owned by the state, town and private parties. Current land use at Akkeshi Lake includes fishing and aquaculture, while tourism and forestry activities occur at Bekambeushi Mire. Surrounding areas also support these activities. Research is conducted on the condition of Grus japonensis habitat and the state of the bog. A possible deterioration of lake water quality may result from land reclamation and aquaculture, and from tree felling and the inflow of raw sewage from livestock farms in the catchment. A Hokkaido Wetland Protection Master plan is in preparation. 89 Places
