Yaku-shima exhibits a rich flora, with some 1,900 species and subspecies, includes ancient specimens of "sugi" (Japanese cedar) having untill around 2000 to 3000 years according to scientists. The fauna of the island is diverse, including Japanese and sika deer, 150 bird species, 15 species of reptile, eight species of amphibians and about 1,900 species of insects.
