Process of Including Local Biodiversity in Planning and Development

SDGs

National Taiwan University Campus Major Construction Project Planning and Review Process



Therefore there must be a preparatory committee reviewing whether the site is located in sensitive habitat areas affecting biodiversity. The sensitive habitat area is defined with the help of the Campus Biodiversity Survey done regularly since 2009



 

Campus Biodiversity Survey

 

To learn about and manage the ecological environment and resources on campus, NTU has carried out regular Campus Biodiversity Survey since 2009, including the survey of birds, mammals, reptiles, insects, plants, and green coverage. The goal is to understand the distribution of various species on campus, as well as the rise and fall of native species and exotic species, the information of which will become a reference for NTU’s management of biodiversity. To increase participation in the ecological survey, domestic and international online resources are incorporated so that people can report sightings more easily, such as the black-crowned heron report system, the roadkill report system, ebird, and iNaturelist. Campus tours and training courses for volunteer tour guides are organized on a regular basis to help the faculty, students, and the public learn more about NTU’s ecological environment.
