The islands returned to Japanese administration in 1968 after a period of American occupation and were inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2011 for their exceptional biodiversity, including 441 recorded plant taxa and the critically endangered Bonin flying fox, the islands' only native mammal.
