Hokkaido, Japan's northernmost island, is home to some incredible yet endangered species, like the Ezo deer, Blakiston's fish owl, and the Hokkaido brown bear. Sadly, these animals face serious threats from habitat loss due to urbanization and farming, climate change, invasive species, pollution, and their limited ranges.

 

Visiting zoos and aquariums can make a real difference! These places educate us about these amazing creatures and their habitats while supporting important conservation programs. When you engage with these animals, you’re not just enjoying a day out—you’re also learning how to protect them and contribute to their survival. By raising awareness and fostering a sense of responsibility, we can all play a part in safeguarding Hokkaido’s unique wildlife for future generations! Hence, we aim to learn about the challenges these species face and the strategies in place to protect them, sharing our findings to inspire others in wildlife conservation
