Biological monitoring in Tokyo (June 12, 2013)

Biological monitoring in Tama Zoological Park (June 12, 2013)

I visited Tama Zoological Park to see biological impacts of Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant accident. Though I have visited various places in Japan to see the health consequence of the accident, I can find no effect against creatures in Japan.
Tama Zoological Park, one hour from central Tokyo by train, is a unique zoological park, where animals are displayed under naturalistic and spectacular habitats set up in its vast land of 52 ha (129 acres). The zoo has three ecological areas, i.e., the Asiatic Garden, African Garden and Australian Garden, and the Insectarium. Tama Zoological Park can show us many baby animals who were born in Tokyo after the accident. Generally speaking, animal's growth is so fast than human beings that they are more sensitive to radioactive materials of the environment than us.
So I visited Tama Zoological Park to see effects of the accident against animal's babies which eat Japanese foods.
Fortunately, I could see them grown up safely and I couldn't find any impact of the accident. It seems that there is no problem for childbirth and child-rearing in Tokyo Japan.

 Brush-tailed rat kangaroo
Sugar glider
Sugar glider is very shy,so we can seldom meet it.
I was very lucky to see it.
2 years have passed since Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant accident. I have visited various places of Japan to see the health consequence of the accident. Fortunately I have never found any impacts by the accident among Japanese creatures. As far as I know, nobody has health problem which is caused by the accident in Japan.
So people in Tokyo have already forgotten the nuclear power plant accident too. Because Tokyo is very far away from the site and radioactive materials cannot reach there. We know there is no problem for child birth and child rearing in Tokyo. So people in Tokyo are living without any concern about the accident.
I continue to visit various places in the world to see the effects of the accident, because I can meet various creatures which are more sensitive to radioactive materials from the environment. It is important to see their health for our safety.
