Abstract

Interviews and questioner surveys were conducted in Noda City and Echizen City regarding re-introduction of Japanese White Storks since 2015. The feedbacks of the questioner were analyzed in order to identify following three points of view such as practical situation of environmental education, people’s consideration about status of Storks after the releases, and critical messages for the project. The released individuals of White Stork flew away from the both city. The questionnaire feedbacks indicated that the large part of the residents accepted the fact. Then, some critical opinions toward the re-introduction project by local people were also categorized and specific three dimensions were clarified.
