Lecture by Gen Bando, Zookeeper of the Asahiyama Zoo   (July 25, 2013)
Mr. Gen Bando, zookeeper of the Asahiyama Zoo in Hokkaido, delivered a lecture about life on earth to second year students at our junior high school.

Asahiyama Zoo is a small zoo, however, it became famous for its interactive exhibitions that started in 1997. We had seen just various animals at zoos until the Asahiyama Zoo showed how they were interacting in daily life. The change was revolutionary, making the zoo well- known both in Japan and all over the world.

In today's speech, he warned that people, especially in civilized countries, have to reconsider their extravagant way of life that robs animals of their territories and existence.
