Yanbaru

is the name given to the forested northern part of Okinawa Island in Japan. Spanning the northern villages of Higashi, Kunigami, and Ōgimi, Yanbaru contains some of the last large surviving tracts of subtropical rainforest in Asia, with many endemic species of flora and fauna.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Ufugi Nature Museum )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=United States Marine Corps Installations Natural Resource Program: Camp Smedley D. Butler, MCB )〕 Many southerners fled to the area for refuge during the Battle of Okinawa. As of 2012, Japan is preparing to nominate the area for inscription on the UNESCO World Heritage List alongside the Amami Islands.
Yanbaru currently contains the 7,500 ha US Jungle Warfare Training Centre at Camp Gonsalves.〔 As of 2010 there were twenty-two helipads in the training area with a further seven planned within two of the best preserved areas. Issues relating to the location of helipads has meant that the area is yet to be designated a National Park.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=No Military Helipads in Yanbaru Forest )〕 Threatened by clearcutting and the removal of undergrowth, there have been warnings of an imminent extinction crisis.〔 The US Marine Corps has noted that 'to continue to perform realistic military training activities, these habitats must be maintained.'〔
==Biodiversity==

According to the WWF, Yanbaru is the habitat of over four thousand species, with eleven animals and twelve plants peculiar to the area. Many of these are threatened species on the IUCN Red List and 177 feature on the Red List of the Ministry of the Environment.〔 Rare species include the flightless Okinawa rail (''Yanbaru kuina'' in Japanese), Okinawa woodpecker (Special Natural Monument), Ryukyu robin, Amami woodcock, Ryukyu black-breasted leaf turtle, Anderson's crocodile newt, Ishikawa's frog, Holst's frog, Namiye's frog, Ryukyu long-tailed giant rat, and Muennink's spiny rat.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Rare species in Yanbaru )〕 The Okinawa woodpecker and Yanbaru whiskered bat are critically endangered.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Dendrocopos noguchii )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Myotis yanbarensis )
