An endangered Tsushima leopard cat named Hikari has been released into the wild in Tsushima, Nagasaki, following rehabilitation and training at a government-run adaptation station. This initiative aims to prevent the species’ extinction due to habitat degradation. Hikari, rescued after a traffic accident last July, underwent skills training including hunting and tree climbing. The Environment Ministry will track Hikari for a year to monitor his adaptation to the wild. Source: KTN
