The Japanese Society of Zoo and Wildlife Medicine (JSZWM) aims to promote medicine for captive and free-ranging wildlife. The JSZWM is not only involved in the area of preventive and clinical medicine for wildlife, but also fields fundamental to zoo and wildlife medicine, such as the ecological aspects of wildlife.
The JSZWM also intends to apply such medicine to the following areas: wildlife conservation and management for preserving biodiversity and the study of human-wildlife interrelationships.
