Hi everyone! My name is Lisa Zaretskaya. I would like to draw your attention to my report related to Taipei celebrates biodiversity in May.

This May Taipei celebrates animal protection and biodiversity. In this regard, Taipei Animal Protection Office held programs to demonstrate the importance of animal protection, biodiversity, and marine life.

1)    The first week was devoted to firefly season with Taiwan Insect Museum holding an encounter event with the lighting bugs at some  Elementary Schools. A guided tour told participants more about the habitat of the insect and the mystery behind firefly luminescence.

2) The second week of May was devoted to the annual WildViewTaiwan Film Festival dedicated to biodiversity. documentaries to be aired focused on monkeys, lions, kingfishers, dinosaurs, and the origin of life – providing insights into some of the most amazing survival stories of various species. I've attended this festival before. I really liked it, so this year I invited my classmates to go together. It was great!!!

3) The third week of the month was devoted to marine conservation and the threats posed to ocean life, the last week will delve into the interwoven relationship between food, agriculture, and biodiversity.

Thank you for your attention.
