Abstract: The Kanto Region once was a major distribution area of Oriental white stork (Ciconia boyciana) and Japanese Crested ibis (Nipponia Nippon), which can be good indicator species of wetlands and green spaces. For this reason, various stakeholders are collaborating with each other to conserve and restore waterside environments in riparian areas by using storks and ibises as indicator or symbolic species. Those stakeholders are also making efforts to develop a nature-rich water and green ecological network and to promote robust economic development and economic revitalization.
