  1. Ziquejie rice terraces in Hunnan province (China) - a globally important agricultural heritage system, recognized by FAO. Forest-covered mountains provide the water for this centuries-old irrigation system based on natural gravity - Chinese version of Japan's #Satoyama landscapes.

  2. In Japan, a century-long project is underway to monitor fragile ecosystems and track wildlife. What has it uncovered so far? Alarming declines that could shape the future of conservation efforts. japantimes.co.jp/environment/2 #environment #wildlife #environment #climatechange #forests #mountains #coral #saitamaprefecture #satoyama

  3. 21/52 Today on #Day7 of this #COP15 #HistoricalEcology series, a look at Japan's #Satoyama system. I have to admit I only learned of this quite recently, when @BuildSoil mentioned that #StudioGhibli's My Neighbour Totoro was set in a Satoyama landscape. So this is more of a #fandom post - both of Studio Ghibli films (which I love) and of the Satoyama system. 'Satoyama' describes the mountain foothills and arable flat land border zone. Sato (里) means village, and yama (山) hill or mountain.
