In the summer resort town of Karuizawa, Nagano Prefecture, you’ll find Amelia Hiorns, 28, looking after the local bears at the Picchio Wildlife Research Center.
She’s a fascinating woman and a good friend of mine, and it was very insightful to interview her about the role, and hear her thoughts on everything going on in Japan’s natural world right now.
See the interview on The Japan Times:
