How we help animals at Nasu Animal Kingdom

Nasu Animal Kingdom puts great emphasis on the protection, conservation, and awareness of wildlife and the environment. Through initiatives like our ‘CONSERVATION FOREST’, we aim to protect and exhibit endangered species like Tsushima Wildcats and Japanese Grouse. Our breeding programs and collaboration with other zoos have been contributing to wildlife conservation. Below are some examples.

Ex situ conservation efforts for grouse.

After accepting fertilized eggs of grouse (a national special natural treasure of Japan), we raised the birds and returned them to the wild.

Tsushima Cat Conservation Efforts

Our Wildcat Terrace restaurant offers dishes where part of the sales goes to helping secure a feeding ground for the Tsushima Wildcats.

Conservation of wild snow leopards

We sell items that help protect wild snow leopards and the local communities in Kyrgyzstan.
