Japan’s Third Wetland City

I was happy to hear on Monday that Nagoya was chosen as a Wetland City by the Ramsar Convention. It is Japan’s third Wetland City after Niigata City and Izumi in Kagoshima Prefecture. Nagoya has one of the most important wetlands for migratory birds in Japan. Every year, thousands of birds stop by at Fujimae Tidal Flat in the spring and autumn. When they arrive, they are very tired and weak. They stay at Fujimae for a few weeks and eat crabs and other living things in the tidal flat. When they get their strength and energy back, they continue on to other countries for the summer and winter. Please contact me if you come to Nagoya. I would love to show you Fujimae.   (124 words)
