The Tokyo Tokyo Zoological Park Society Tokyo Zoological Park Society Society, has traditionally held an annual lecture series in March to showcase the activities of those who have received its support. However, due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the event could not be held last year (March 2020). This year, the event will be held online, including last year's events!
This time, grant recipients have submitted videos reporting on their activity results (the videos cover activities from fiscal year 2018 that could not be carried out last year, and activities from fiscal year 2019, the most recent year of completion). These are presented below. Please take a look (please also check the description box on the YouTube video, which contains messages from each organization and individual, as well as links to their official websites).
