Conservation of Wild Animals

Currently, many wild animals are in danger of extinction due to land development and climate change, and the situation is getting worse every year. Under these conditions, zoos are expected to protect and preserve wildlife for the future.

Protecting endangered animals by rescuing them from their habitats is called ex situ conservation and to promote it, zoos around the world are working together to develop breeding programs for each animal species. The Tennoji Zoo is actively participating in these global programs and will be intensifying its efforts in the future.

By strengthening its cooperative relationships with domestic and overseas facilities, the Tennoji Zoo will be going all-out to fulfill its mission of increasing and maintaining rare animals and keeping the public informed of the current status of various animals.

Contributing to Stork Breeding The Tennoji Zoo is committed to breeding storks that have been designated as national endangered species, while contributing to securing genetic diversity through participating in activities such as providing fertilized stork eggs to the Hyogo Park of the Oriental White Stork.

Success in Breeding Endangered Species Zoos play a role in species preservation. The Tennoji Zoo emphasizes ex situ conservation. We have successfully bred many endangered species, including polar bears.

International Animal Loans for Species Breeding and Preservation Animal loans for breeding and species preservation are being promoted not only domestically but also within the framework of international conservation plans. The Tennoji Zoo has been actively participating in these initiatives. A female black rhino (Samia) that came from Germany’s Leipzig Zoo in 2015 is now here under the breeding plan.

Organizing and Participating in Symposiums and Study Groups In order to fulfill their roles, zoos and aquariums are cooperating with each other to improve their husbandry techniques. The Tennoji Zoo holds and participates in symposiums and study groups to share information with each institution and their initiatives, and to improve its breeding techniques for a better breeding environment.
