Tokyo Friends of the Zoo

Animals and Zoos
Spring 2023 issue (No.730)

From Inokashira Park Zoo, we bring you reports on efforts to breed Japanese Serow and the day a baby was born.
A food procurement officer from Tama Zoo will give us a behind-the-scenes look at how eucalyptus, essential for raising Koala, is procured.
We will also be providing a wealth of information, including educational outreach activities for children through the conservation of Tokyo-native newts, and the online programs that each kindergarten has been working on innovating during the COVID-19 pandemic.
