In October, I spent a month volunteering and later did paid data entry work for the Shikoku Natural History Scientific Research Centre.
As part of my experience here, I gave a seminar on my work as a conservationist, comparing both New Zealand and Japanese conservation issues and explaining the methods of coexistence with bears I learned in a year at Picchio Wildlife Research Centre.
I also wrote an article summarising how I came to be involved in bear conservation in Japan. It includes many of the points made in the seminar, though it is only a summary.
It is in Japanese unfortunately, but a quick screenshot and upload to Google Translate will give a general idea.
