Biological monitoring in Kanagawa (December 17, 2013)

Biological monitoring in ZOORASIA YOKOHAMA ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS

I visited ZOORASIA YOKOHAMA ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS to see biological impacts of Fukushima No.1 nuclear power plant accident. Though I have visited various places in Japan to see the health consequences of the accident, I have never found any effect against creatures in Japan.

This unique zoo employs as few fences as possible so that visitors can see the animals living in an environment similar to their natural habitat. The zoo is divided into zones of different climates such as Asian Tropical Forest, Subarctic Forest, Amazon Jungle, Japanese Countryside and African Tropical Rain Forest. There is also a grass park and the "Wanpaku Forest" with play equipment. The zoo also includes a closed facility, Yokohama City Breeding Center, which was founded with the purpose of researching wildlife and contributing to the preservation of rare species.

So I visited ZOORASIA YOKOHAMA ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS to see effects of the accident against animals which are grown up by Japanese food and water.
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 Kanagawa Japan.

Japanese foods are good and safe.
Because of stricter food safety law by Japanese government, we have no worry about foods.

2 and a half 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.

Our Prime Minister Abe assures that "the situation is under control" and "there will never be health problems."  He also said that "Tokyo is 250 kilometers away from Fukushima, and the kind of danger that you imagine does not exist in Tokyo. Tokyo is a very safe city."

Kanagawa is very far away from Fukushima as well as Tokyo, people in Kanagawa have no concern about the nuclear power plant accident. People in Kanagawa have already forgotten the accident, because it is very far away from Fukushima and radioactive materials cannot reach there.

We know there is no problem for child birth and child rearing in Kanagawa. So people in Kanagawa are living without any concern about the accident.
I continue to visit various places in Japan 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.
