We conduct research and education on wildlife science in order to deepen scientific understanding from a conservation viewpoint. Specifically, we are conducting research in conjunction with zoos, aquariums and wildlife conservation centers in Japan to elucidate reproductive physiology and to develop assisted reproductive techniques including gamete preservation in various kinds of endangered species. We also conduct research and education in to the development of new biotechnologies as well as establishment of sustainable ecological systems through investigations on animals' abilities to adapt to various environments.
