Explore Okinawa's Yambaru evergreen forest and help safeguard Japan’s beautiful red-billed Yanbaru kuina, or Okinawa rail, which is in danger of extinction. Meeting participants and group guests help protect the bird’s survival by caring for its forest home and repairing fences that protect the bird from predators. This experience with Yanbaru Wildlife Conservation Center immerses guests in a unique natural world.
