Endangered Species in Taiwan

by Elizaveta Zaretskaya | 01-05-2018 23:07 recommendations 2

Hi everyone! My name is Lisa Zaretskaya. I would like to draw your attention to my 5th report related to Endangered Species in Taiwan.

Last month, together with students from Tamkang University, we organized an ecological marathon in honor of Earth day. The first lecture was devoted to rare species of animals in Taiwan. The student, whose name is Albina, told us that the Cultural Heritage Conservation Act prohibits the hunting, fishing, collecting, logging, or other forms of destruction of designated rare and valuable animals and plants. Since 1982, twenty-three species of fauna and eleven species of flora have been put on the rare and valuable list. Many of these plants and animals are endemic to Taiwan and include the Formosan black bear, mikado pheasant, Taiwan pleione and Taiwan Amentotaxus. One of the most interesting of Taiwan's rare species is the land-locked salmon or Taiwan trout (Oncorhynchus masou formosanum).

Originally in several upper tributaries of the Tachia River, habitat damage and pollution have narrowed its range to only a five kilometers section of a single mountain stream. It is, like the Formosan salamander, a glacial relic surviving in the cool, higher elevations and represents the World's southernmost distribution of the trout (Salmonidas) family. Recent funding efforts have gone into the protection and study of this rare fish.

Thank you for your attention. Our marathon will be continued

    Hello Elizaveta!
    It seems like you have provided your research about rare species in Taiwan, also with your classmates.
    As Gyeongrin mentor said, sharing information and introducing endangered species to the public can help people participate in any activity protecting those species!
    Keep up with your work! :) Hope your classmates and you can reach the total point of the project at the end!

By sharing information and opinions of certain issues such as endangered species will people who listen to it and also makes it possible for the presenter to have a more thorough view about the whole.
