説明

Japanese weasels (Mustela itati itati) were introduced into Miyake-jima Island, Tokyo, to reduce the number of brown rats (Rattus norvegicus) and black rats (R. rattus). They currently threaten the endemic component of this island's fauna. Public attitude toward nature, introduced Japanese weasels and the future of the island were studied using a questionnaire survey. One hundred eighty seven families were nominated for the survey, of which 80 individuals responded (2% of all residents). Eighty six percent of the respondents were interested in nature, and 56% thought it important to protect nature or develop industries that integrate nature conservation practices into their activities. Ninety five percent of the respondents recognized that Japanese weasels had been introduced and 94% knew the purpose of that introduction. A significantly greater number of respondents agreed that control after Japanese weasel on Miyke-jima Island was necessary than those who disagreed (X2-test, p < 0.001).
