The World's Largest Black-faced Spoonbill Wintering Ground: Witnessing the Perfect Balance Between Conservation and Tourism

Eco-friendly Habitats: Providing Black-faced Spoonbills a Comfortable Winter The Black-faced Spoonbill is a migratory large waterbird. Each year from September to October, over 60% of the global Black-faced Spoonbill population migrates south to Taiwan with the northeast monsoon to overwinter, returning north gradually from March to April the following year. To welcome these precious migratory birds, Taijiang National Park promotes Black-faced Spoonbill Season activities and actively creates eco-friendly habitats, encouraging fishermen to maintain low water levels and small fish in their ponds after autumn harvest to provide food sources for waterbirds. Since this project began in 2020, participating fishermen have increased from 3 individuals with 10.8 hectares to 42 individuals with over 258 hectares in 2024. Eco-friendly fishpond products can use the "Black-faced Spoonbill Brand" trademark after review, promoting a win-win collaboration between ecological conservation and industrial development.
