Recent Research
In recent years, the globalization of the economy and social systems has precipitated a significant transformation in the manner in which natural resources are utilized. In light of these developments, various measures have been implemented with the aim of conserving natural resources. Examples include biodiversity conservation, global warming countermeasures, the promotion of a decarbonized society, and the dissemination of the SDGs concept. The Laboratory of Natural Resource Management, led by Professor Hyakumura, studies how natural resources in forests and surrounding areas are managed, through fieldwork, policy research and literature review. The laboratory’s core areas of investigation are outlined below:
- 「Natural Resource Management from a Political Ecology Perspective」
- 「Forest Conservation in the Global Warming Problem」
- 「Efforts to Combat Illegal Logging」
- 「Research on Entomophagy」
- 「Sustainable Agriculture and Forestry to Reduce Health Damage from Haze」
- 「Balancing Rare Species Conservation and Agriculture in a World Natural Heritage Site (Amami-Oshima Island)」
