Appeal for wildlife conservation
Collaboration with students for anime
Queen, a rock band that has been regaining attention with the hit of the movie "Bohemian Rhapsody". Brian May, a guitarist and front-line musician in the band, resumed his research at the observatory in 2007 with a PhD in astrophysics. In 2010, he launched the animal protection group "Save Me Trust" and has been enthusiastic about the animal welfare movement.
By looking at the universe, we become aware of the reality of the earth and have a strong sense of crisis. He seems to be one of those people who has that experience. The loss of animal habitat due to climate change also supports a passion for environmental activities.
For last year's Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP26), Brian produced an animation featuring Queen's masterpiece "Who Wants to Live Forever." He urged serious attention to wildlife conservation and environmental issues in collaboration with universities on five continents. Tokyo Zokei University of Japan is participating in this work as a representative of Asia.
Regarding the anime work, Brian issued the following statement jointly with Save Me Trust co-founder Ann Brammer.
"This amazing video shows the devastation facing our precious planet. Humans are putting a crisis on Mother Earth's nature so much that they prioritize their needs. Many creatures But it is reaching extinction 1000 times faster than at any time in Earth's history. It is imperative that world leaders take immediate attention and action at COP26. Excuse and prolong. We can't afford to be. We are at a turning point that cannot be ignored. "
Climate change Live Aid
Aspire to hold
Live Aid, an African refugee relief concert featured in the movie Bohemian Rhapsody, was a historic event in the history of music and humanitarian aid. Brian is eager to hold a concert of the climate change version of Live Aid. "I think the younger generation will take the lead," he said, indicating that Queen will also participate. However, he also commented that the climate change problem is so huge that it is not enough for Live Aid.
Brian is once again in the spotlight with a movie hit. He wants you to use the anime collaboration with the younger generation as a foothold and team up with young people to create a further movement.
