The unchecked practice of tourists feeding rabbits on Okunoshima has led to an overwhelming rise in their population, creating serious ecological concerns. This steady food source is altering animal behaviors, with wild boars starting to hunt rabbits more frequently. The plant life suffers, evident in the stark ‘rabbit line’ marking the landscape. Experts suggest implementing regulated feeding practices and formulating long-term conservation strategies for the island.
