Zoos and Aquariums - JSON

Zoos and aquariums are facilities that house animals from around the world and allow the public to view them, serving four roles: education, research, conservation, and entertainment. The Japanese Association of Zoos and Aquariums (JAZA) has 140 member facilities in Japan (91 zoos and 49 aquariums) working to protect nature and valuable animals from an international perspective. Zoos exhibit terrestrial animals, aquariums display aquatic animals, and safari parks are positioned as facilities where visitors can view free-roaming animals in vast grounds.
