 JPRI Working Paper No. 45: April 1998
Okinawa was undoubtedly neglected, both during the prewar and wartime decades, as the most backward Japanese prefecture (ultimately devastated by war), but also during the 1945-72 U.S. period.
In this, as in other respects, Okinawa is becoming 'mainland-ized.' Unlike the rest of Japan, however, the coral-protected islands of Okinawa are directly threatened by global warming and the anticipated rise in the level of the oceans, since the former may well kill the coral, and the latter inundate it.
Yet Okinawa is unlikely ever to pass through the stage of requiring its youth to be trained as salarymen for a mainland-style industrial wage-labor force, and mainland Japan itself is gradually awakening to the folly and wastage of its education system.

 Japan's Battle of Okinawa
It evacuated a portion of Okinawa's population of 435,000 to the main Japanese islands, partly for their safety and partly to prevent their consuming precious foodstuffs once communications with the outside were cut off.
Okinawa's economy produced sweet potatoes to feed the cows and pigs, and imported rice from Taiwan to feed the human population.
The Okinawa caves were in some ways a unique response to the lethal mass of enemy artillery the IJA 32d Army faced, and given what they were intended to do, the caves were extremely successful.

Okinawa woodpecker (Sapheopipo noguchii) The Okinawa woodpecker is endemic to Okinawa Island, Japan, in the Nansei Shoto (Ryukyu) Islands in southern Japan.
The Okinawa woodpecker heavily uses rotting stubs as food sources, which suggests a dependence on old-growth forests with large, often moribund trees, accumulated fallen trees and debris, and undergrowth (Short 1993, as cited in BirdLife International 2001).
It was considered close to extinction in the 1930s, and in the early 1990s, the breeding population was estimated to be about 75 birds, with the total population between 146 and 584 individuals.
