The ZIMS Japanese community project was made possible by the successful collaboration of JAZA, our Japanese members and Species360. The project was accomplished through the dedicated support of our team of fourteen Japanese volunteers, three translators in the US, and leadership from the Japanese Association of Zoos and Aquariums (JAZA). Special thanks go to Etsuo Narushima, DVM, JAZA Executive Director; and Yutaka Fukuda, DVM, Ph.D., JAZA Chair. Without the continuing support and commitment from JAZA, this endeavor would not have been possible.
