Abstract ◊ This study, based on the idea that the conservation of ecosystems depends on human culture and education, considers their conservation in relation to the traditional regional culture of a community which has co-existed with lagoons, by selecting one rare lagoon called Lake Nishi-no-ko. With respect to environmental education and its significance, the author focused on three viewpoints which are considered essential concerning the use and conservation of ecosystems: material cycle, living environment and restoration of nature.
Keywords: traditional regional culture, environmental education, lagoons, ecosystems, material cycle, living environment, restoration of nature, Lake Biwa.
