After 15 years of lobbying by WBSJ and numerous other conservation organisations, the Hokkaido Government chose not to build drainage channels along the Chitose River in Chitose, Hokkaidō.[5] Lobbying by WBSJ and others, were also successful in getting the plan to reclaim Fujimae Tidal Flat, an important migration stop-over site for shorebirds, to be dropped.[6]
Wild Bird Society of Japan (WBSJ) is a BirdLife International Partner. Princess Takamado is the honorary president of BirdLife International.[7]
