Kengo Uchita
I chose “Endangered animals” as my personal project’s topic. I have been
interested in biological things since I was in grade 2, and china has many
endangered animals such as the giant panda, lesser panda, and so on.
Also china is the one of the biggest developing countries so I thought that
there is a lot of effect to endangered animals because of china’s care policies. And that is why I chose this topic.

project.

this topic is because I personally like eco bags and I already have some.
