日本産トキを絶滅させた要因のひとつが観察圧。人の接近によって親が逃げたことで捕食を誘発、巣を放棄してヒナが餓死、ヒナを落下させた事例などが知られています。過度な関心が絶滅を招いたトキの事例は強い教訓とされるべきです。 同じ過ちが、繰り返されている現状を変えなければなりません。
Two white Japanese crested ibises with red faces and crests stand close together on a natural surface, one facing the other with beaks nearly touching. A red book cover beside them features Japanese text including Research Report on Captive Breeding of Japanese Crested Ibis and publication details from March 2000 by Environment Agency. A white book cover with similar bird image and text is partially visible nearby.
