Urbanization of Ara River basin gradually damaged its natural environment. Most areas of the plain with relatively conserved nature were riverbeds. Ara River biotope, 57 km away from the river mouth, is the midstream of the Ara River main stream. Hawks and foxes disappeared as the environment became worse. Given the situation, the wheat fields and meadows in the flat riverbeds have been improved to secure a large-scaled nature, good as the natural habitat, in combination with the neighboring Kitamoto nature watching park. Along the downstream, as a part of waterfront space development, banks are being developed in cooperation with the re-development projects.
