Due to the series of restrictive protection measures taken by Chinese Government for protection of the endangered species Created Ibis Nipponia Nippon, its population in Yang County has increased from 7 at the time of its rediscovery in 1981 to 300 in 2001.
However, conflict between protecting the species and developing the local agricultural economy has emerged in the process of rapid economic development in China.
The farmers began to consider the protection measures as limiting to local economic development, which resulted in loss of their support and cooperation. Farmers are eager to use modern agricultural input such as chemical fertilizer and insecticide and to add wheat cultivation to rice expecting higher yield from their limited holdings. This would definitely degrading ecosystem of paddy fields where ibis feed itself. Therefore, it is urgent that those restrictive protection measures are converted into inductive ones in order to create suitable environment for both farmers and wild animals.
The main componets of this study are:
(1) To find out the measures to expand Eco-agriculture in Yang County in order to harmonize agricultural development with protection of wild ibis.
(2) To find out the factors which had caused degrading ecosystem of paddy fields of Sado island, the habitat of last Japanese wild ibis to define the proposed Eco-agriculture in China and Sado in the future.
