Regarding the World Natural Heritage Five Regions Conference, the fact that cooperation between the five regions in Japan that have World Natural Heritage sites has been realized can be considered a major achievement in itself. The presentations this time reaffirmed the great significance of sharing the activities of each of the five regions to ensure that the conservation of natural heritage sites, daily life, and tourism coexist in a sustainable manner. Furthermore, the importance of disseminating Japan's ideas and efforts regarding coexistence with natural heritage sites to the world was also pointed out, and this presentation gives us hope for future international advocacy activities.
