I am part of Yuujou because...

I've been studying in Japan for 2 years now majoring in Ecology. I learned about many unique species in Japan, the reason why they're unique, how they interact with each other and also with human's life. While learning all this, I started to think about why we conserve nature. How we conserve nature really depends on what we aim to protect, and that is not always the endangered species or rare species.
Also this year(2018), I joined a biodiversity investigation project as butterfly researcher in one of the famous rice terraces in Kanagawa prefecture, Japan. Through this investigation, I got interested in the relationship between natural creatures and human life/customs.
I want to go to Yuujou Journey because I want to meet people around the globe to learn about how can, or what can biodiversity conservation protect. I also want to document any kind of relationships between human lives and nature.

I expect a friend to...

accept the kind of person I am, stop and correct me if I'm doing the wrong thing.

I can't stand it when...

I hear a story of human treating creatures disrespectfully. Like old people who claim that they're protecting nature when destroying biodiversity.

I spend an unreasonable amount of money on...

Kendama and short trips around Japan in search of obscure hot springs and butterfly habitats.

These are my creative super powers!
