The Institute of Critical Zoologists celebrates the reintroduction of more than 200 rare birds, bred at the Institute's laboratories, to the wild by the Acusis Program.
About Acusis : The Ark Project is an initiative by the Institute of Critical Zoologists (ICZ), the Veterinary Acupuncture Center in Beijing, the Japan Laboratory of Endangered Species and the Biostatsis Institute in Fukuoka. The project's mission is to help save endangered animals from extinction. It does this by extending the life-span of the thousands of animals that are expected to disappear within the next few years. The process used is called Acusis, which uses acupuncture to induce biostatsis in an animal for prolonged periods of hibernation. Some of the web-cameras which are used to monitor the animals are made public at the Institute’s website.
