General Description

  1. From a “century of destruction” to a “century of rebirth”
    Animal damage problems, exotic animal problems, common infectious disease problems...all the various wild animal problems have been created by human society. A passionate message from a researcher who has been grappling with the social issue of wild animals for about 40 years.

    [From the “Introduction” of this book]
    Wild animal problems are a new social problem for our human society, and I wrote ``Wild Animal Problems'' (2001, Chijin Shokan) to ask the world that society as a whole should work towards solving this problem. I started writing at the end of the 20th century.

    In the second half of the 20th century, problems between wild animals and humans arose one after another, including damage to agriculture, forestry and fisheries, baiting, smuggling, commercial whaling, endocrine disruptors, invasive species, and extinction. This is because he realized that these problems are not individual problems, but that they all have been created by human society.

    It's been over 20 years since then. Even as we enter a new century, it seems that rather than being resolved, wildlife problems are becoming more serious and complex. Of course, during this time, Japan has been developing a legal system and related budgets and projects to solve wildlife problems one after another. I myself have been directly involved in some of these projects, and I feel that the changes have been made to an extent that feels like a world away. There is also no doubt that public awareness and interest in this issue is increasing to some extent.

    In this way, our society must have tried to deal with this wildlife problem in various ways. However, why is the problem still far from being resolved? This is the first point I would like to clarify in this book.
