Wildlife by group and country
Three of the four Japanese parks on this list are World Heritage — Yakushima, Nikko and Shiretoko — and the fourth, the Kushiro Wetland, is marsh. The three linked birds cover three different tiers: the mountain hawk-eagle, the Japanese robin and Blakiston's eagle-owl, which is endangered.
Places come from reviewed species-place links; the species shown at each place are only those in this group.
