The Taiwan Wild Bird Federation, the Wild Bird Society of Tainan, and the Kaohsiung Wild Bird Society are voicing strong opposition to the government's plan to expand the Shalun Smart Green Energy Science City in Tainan (沙崙智慧綠能科學城擴建計畫). As part of this expansion, the government has designated 531 hectares for the so-called Ecological Science Park (生態科學園區) and about 84 hectares for the Shalun Health Park (沙崙健康園區).

茄萣各社團與國內外保育團體呼籲,茄萣濕地之範圍與等級審議,必須回到《濕地保育法》的科學精神與國家保育責任,而非地方政治角力的延伸。除此之外,都市計畫與濕地審議屬於獨立程序,不應互相影響或牽動審查結果。濕地評級需先考量濕地品質與重要性,獨立相關分級與管理。

Various Taiwanese bird and wetland conservation groups are urgently calling for international support to stop a development proposal that threatens one of the world’s most important wintering habitats for the Endangered Black-faced Spoonbill (Platalea minor).

eBird is the world's largest bird observation database. Since launching its Traditional Chinese portal in 2015, eBird Taiwan has grown into a cornerstone of the global birding community. Jointly operated by the Taiwan Biodiversity Research Institute (TBRI) and the Taiwan Wild Bird Federation (TWBF), the platform has connected thousands of bird enthusiasts, inspired public participation in citizen science, and accumulated invaluable ecological data.

全球最大公民科學計畫eBird在臺十年有成!自2015年繁體中文的入口網在臺灣啟用以來,eBird Taiwan使用者已累積超過138萬份紀錄清單,貢獻名列全球第七,成為全球鳥類保育網絡中不可或缺的力量。為慶祝十週年里程碑,eBird的創始單位──美國康乃爾大學鳥類學研究室(Cornell Lab of Ornithology,以下簡稱康乃爾鳥類研究室)執行長Ian Owens博士特地來臺,共同見證臺灣賞鳥社群所締造的成果。此計畫由農業部生物多樣性研究所(以下簡稱生多所)與社團法人中華民國野鳥學會(以下簡稱中華鳥會)共同經營,成功地為臺灣鳥類保育工作開啟了數據驅動的新時代。

針對政府規劃於台南沙崙農場推動「生態科學園區」及「沙崙健康園區」,開發總面積超過600 公頃,佔據了約950公頃的沙崙農場面積近三分之二!中華民國野鳥學會、台南市野鳥學會及高雄市野鳥學會在此提出嚴正關切。我們並非反對發展,但堅決反對一個在程序、邏輯與事實基礎上皆充滿矛盾的開發案。將一個名為「生態」的園區,選址於公認的生態熱點上,是本案最大的謬誤,我們要求政府必須正視此爭議,並進行通盤檢討。

The results of the 2025 International Black-faced Spoonbill Census were released in early April. This year, a total of 7,081 Black-faced Spoonbills were recorded worldwide, marking the first time the global population has surpassed the 7,000 threshold. In Taiwan, 4,169 individuals were recorded, a slight increase of 34 from the previous year. According to the organizer of the global census, the Hong Kong Bird Watching Society (HKBWS)

「沙崙健康園區」選址於臺南沙崙農場範圍內,面積達84.25公頃,佔沙崙農場面積將近10%,加上未來規劃其他開發案,估計將使沙崙農場面積消失超過1/4以上。

On January 4th, 2025, the seven organizations which make up the Chiku and Jiangjun Salt Pan Wetlands Restoration Alliance conducted the Taiwan New Year Bird Count survey at Tainan City's Chiku and Jiangjun Salt Pans. In total, over 25,000 individuals representing 90 species were observed!

今年初1月4日,「七股將軍鹽灘濕地復育聯盟」共7個夥伴團體在臺南七股、將軍的鹽田濕地進行「臺灣新年數鳥嘉年華」冬季鳥類調查活動,共記錄到90種鳥類,數量超過2萬5千隻,其中全球瀕危的遷徙候鳥諾氏鷸已是第9年回到將軍鹽田,展現高度的棲地忠誠度,聯盟成員向全國大眾呼籲一起來關注、欣賞美好的鹽田濕地生態!

Results of the 2024 Taiwan Black-faced Spoonbill Census revealed a total of 4,135 spoonbills wintering in Taiwan proper and its outlying islands, down 93 from the year before. With annual census numbers consistently showing 50% to 60% of the global population, Taiwan is one of the most critical wintering areas for the iconic and globally threatened species. This year's survey took place January 19-21. Supported by the Taiwan Forestry and Nature Conservation Agency, the Taiwan Wild Bird Federation organized the event in Taiwan, working with birders, bird societies, government agencies, and other groups from all over the country to conduct the census. In recent years, over 100 surveyors have been required to accurately conduct the count.
