A protected but wounded forest. What does "World Heritage" mean for Amami rabbits?
In 2014, predators made them Endangered. Today, it’s roadkill. They’re still in danger. We broke this ecosystem, so it’s on us to fix it. We’re just borrowing Earth—let's return it clean. True conservation depends on us, not UNESCO.

#AmamiRabbit #WorldHeritage
今回は、アマミノクロウサギ（学名：Pentalagus furnessi）と、「世界遺産」って何なんだろう？ってことを考えてみました。このウサギさん、2014年の図鑑では、イヌやネコ、マングースみたいな外来の哺乳類に捕食されることなどが理由で、「EN：危機」とされていました。そして最新のレッドリストを見ても、今度は道路利用が増えたことによるロードキル（交通事故）みたいな影響があって、評価はやっぱり「EN：危機」のままなんです。だからアマミノクロウサギは今も、「守られて、傷ついていく森」みたいな状態にいるんだと思います。この記事は短くて、5分くらいで読めます。よかったら最後まで読んでください。
#Conservation Success: For the first time an #InvasiveSpecies was completely removed from a large island https://www.indianapoliszoo.com/gcss/blog/conservation-lessons-from-japan/
"the Japanese Ministry of the Environment declared the eradication of an invasive species from #Amami-Oshima... The #mongooses attacked the Endangered #AmamiRabbit – a species only found in #Japan and a natural treasure of the country."
Endangered #Amami rabbit disperses seeds for non-photosynthetic plant https://phys.org/news/2023-01-endangered-amami-rabbit-disperses-seeds.html
Researchers had previously been puzzled about how the seeds of the #Balanophora #plants, with some of the smallest fruits among angiosperms, were dispersed. B. yuwanensis is a host-specific obligate parasite. Efficient seed transportation likely requires the seed to be deposited near the roots of a host. The #AmamiRabbit may facilitate this through digging, defecating underground in burrows.
The iconic yet endangered Amami rabbit (Pentalagus furnessi) has been shown to play a key role in seed dispersal for the non-photosynthetic plant Balanophora yuwanensis. This discovery, made by Professor Suetsugu Kenji and graduate student Mr. Hashiwaki Hiromu of Kobe University's Graduate School of Science, sheds light on the previously unknown ecological role of the world's only dark-furred wild rabbit.
