　The habitats of animals and plants such as red-crowned crane, Siberian salamander, Japanese huchen (Hucho perryi), colonies of kabusuge (Carex caespitosa) (also called yachibozu, or "humps of dead sedge"), which are characteristic of Kushiro Mire, should be studied for conservation.

[Specific measures]
　To conserve the wildlife habitats, information on the habitat of animals and plants is necessary. To achieve this, it is important to understand the habitat requirements of indicator species such as red-crowned crane, Siberian salamander, Japanese huchen (Hucho perryi), colonies of kabusuge (Carex caespitosa) (also called yachibozu, or "humps of dead sedge"), which are characteristic of Kushiro Mire. At the same time, it is necessary to devise a system that enables citizens and relevant organizations to share these data.
