This initiative aims to prevent the species&#8217; 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. <\/span><b>Source: <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ktn.co.jp\/news\/detail.php?id=20240423008\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">KTN<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-162513\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/fnn_tsushima-yamaneko-hikari_2024_cl.jpg?resize=1400%2C795&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Endangered Tsushima Leopard Cat 'Hikari' Released into the Wild\" width=\"1400\" height=\"795\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/fnn_tsushima-yamaneko-hikari_2024_cl.jpg?w=1400&amp;ssl=1 1400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/fnn_tsushima-yamaneko-hikari_2024_cl.jpg?resize=300%2C170&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/fnn_tsushima-yamaneko-hikari_2024_cl.jpg?resize=1024%2C581&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/fnn_tsushima-yamaneko-hikari_2024_cl.jpg?resize=768%2C436&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stay informed with the latest Fukuoka &amp; Kyushu news and events in English.
