Satellite imagery has suggested that the number of endangered albatrosses may be increasing on one of the Senkaku Islands in the East China Sea, the Environment Ministry said recently.
The imagery from November showed some 110 to 140 pairs of albatrosses on Minamikojima, up from some 50 pairs found during an on-site inspection in 2002, the ministry said.
