[Japan Studies Now-Inter-University Center Lecture Series] “The Kaleidoscopic Japanese Archipelago:
Observations from Fieldwork on Biodiversity”

The Japanese archipelago, surrounded by the ocean with a highly dynamic coastal terrain, is home to a variety of fauna and flora and wildlife in diverse natural environments. Such diversity is reflected in a variety of human lifestyles as well. As environmental protection becomes an urgent problem facing mankind today, what can we learn from the way those in Japan’s rural/coastal areas live?

Professor Anne McDonald, who has traveled all around Japan’s coastal areas as a researcher in environmental history for over 20 years, will talk about her observations on Japan’s biodiversity and how we can contribute to the formation of a sustainable society.
