Currently, global goals for the conservation and restoration of biodiversity are being set and actual action is required, and the TASUKI-襷-Project is taking on the challenge of assessing aquatic biodiversity in the field of rivers and Lake Biwa, which are connected to Tokyo Bay. In this project, we will conduct comprehensive species analysis from water sampling samples while incorporating environmental DNA technology.
On the day of the project, participants will experience the water quality survey experiment and plankton identification process with the junior and senior high school students who participated in the project. Also, through lectures on environmental DNA analysis, participants will learn about cutting-edge science and technology. Why don't you start your own research on biodiversity?
