　The Oriental White Stork is the prefectural bird of Hyogo.I didn’t know about the bird when I came to Toyooka as an ALT.　What surprises me here is how interested people are in making a place where Oriental White Storks and humans can live together.At one time, Oriental White Storks ①( many / found / could / in / places / be) in Japan.However, their numbers began to fall because humans had destroyed their environment, so the government of Hyogo and local communities started conservation activities in 1955.
　Today, under the Stork Reintroduction Project, various efforts are being made.Promoting education programs is one of them.My students sometimes visit rice fields and rivers to research wildlife and release fish there for storks.②These experiences can give them chances to learn the importance of nature and think about life.This spring, a pair of storks made their nest on a school ground in Toyooka because of their efforts.I hope that Hyogo prefecture can be an ideal place for both storks and humans.
