1 #1 Hosted by: Kushiro International Wetland Centre Activity: WWD Commemorative Event Eco-tour in Winter Date: February 2nd, 2008 Summary: Local people of Kushiro were taken to an eco-tour conducted by the Kushiro International Wetland Center. Participants headed for Shirarutoro-ko (lake) in the east side of the wetland while enjoying watching the meandering Kushiro river, wild Yezo sika deer, etc. from a steam locomotive which only runs in winter. On the frozen surface of the lake, they searched for some traces (such as animal tracks) of red fox, red-crowned crane and Yezo sika deer, and they observed some ice and snow. They also felt the warmth of the spring water which never freezes despite the subzero atmospheric temperature. Sound of cracking ice made some people startled as they went along. Those experiences made them realize how severe the Hokkaido s nature is in winter and how hardy the wild animals are. After warming themselves up in a hot spring at the lakeside, they had a lecture related to the World Wetlands Day. In the lecture, this year s theme Healthy Wetlands, Healthy People was explained with some case examples. WWD Commemorative Winter Eco-tour #2 Hosted by: Hamatonbetsu-cho Activity: Exhibition of a Snow Statue of Swan and a Piece of Drift Ice Period: February 2-29, 2008
2 Summary: A snow statue of a swan and a piece of drift ice welcomed the winter visitors at Waterbirds Observation Center. The ice was washed up on the beach of Hamatonbetsu-cho, however the drift ice has decreased in recent years. This ice was exhibited as to make people aware of global warming together with the statue.

Kabukuri-numa and the surrounding rice paddies is a Ramsar Site with a great variety of creatures and also a stopover for tens of thousands of geese. The 2nd goal was to discuss the role-sharing of relevant organizations and citizens to be specified in the protecting and utilizing plan. The last goal was to create an opportunity to exchange opinions for the sustainable protection activities for the wetlands. The symposium was held with the topics mentioned below: (1) Gathering in the Ramsar Site, Kabukuri-numa and the surrounding rice paddies (2) Visiting home of the geese that winter in Kabukuri-numa and Kejo-numa (3) Considering the wise use of Kabukuri-numa and Kejo-numa

In this 2 nd WWD event to be held in Nakaikemi, the NPO conducted a 5 km walking tour around the wetland. In the tour, they visited Yozaikemi, which has landscape similar to Nakaikemi but turned to a residential district as the land development expanded.
