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)

  2024年10月25日,環境部「沙崙健康園區」環評專案小組初審,由於多位委員對污染及生態方面有諸多疑慮,決議補件再審。

  「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。

  沙崙農場為臺南市,也是臺灣西部目前僅存難得的大面積完整農地及造林地。根據台南鳥會長期的調查監測,農場內平日的調查就會有60種左右的鳥種,歷年曾經出現過的鳥種則超過130種,包含30種保育類鳥種。

  讓沙崙農場最被全國關注的,則是因為一級保育類,也是臺灣特有亞種的草鴞穩定在此出現。臺灣已知13種貓頭鷹中,草鴞是唯一在草生地棲息繁殖的留鳥,農場內豐富的草原及旱田生態,可以提供草鴞源源不絕的食物以及育雛繁殖的需求。

  近年來包括中央的農業部林業及自然保育署針對瀕危的物種發起生態給付的保育措施,地方政府台南市政府亦在民國109年公布,以台南市的水雉及草鴞為對象,用生態服務給付來保育這兩種瀕危鳥種。如今卻因開發健康產業園區,將大面積破壞減少草鴞活動覓食區,甚至可能是潛在的繁殖區,不僅政策互相矛盾,也忽視沙崙農場生態珍貴之處。

民間團體呼籲:

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.

In January 2024, The Taiwan Biodiversity Research Institute (TBRI), the Taiwan Wild Bird Federation (TWBF), and the Cornell Lab of Ornithology officially launched Taiwan's first bird atlas project (known as the Taiwan Bird Atlas). Its goal is to complete detailed maps outlining the distribution, breeding, and number of bird species across Taiwan by 2028. Bird atlases are crucial for documenting and conserving biodiversity.

農業部生物多樣性研究所(生多所)、中華民國野鳥學會(中華鳥會)攜手美國康乃爾大學鳥類學研究室(Cornell Lab of Ornithology),推動臺灣首次鳥類地圖計畫(Taiwan Bird Atlas),目前正招募夥伴!想像一下,透過你的望遠鏡和錄音機,成為描繪臺灣豐富鳥類生態地圖的重要一員。這不僅是賞鳥的樂趣升級,更是為我們美麗島嶼的自然保護出一份力。我們的目標是在2028年前,以實際資料完整繪製臺灣各種鳥的分布、繁殖區域與相對數量地圖。

日前臺南市野生動物保育學會在二仁溪畔進行草鴞棲地生態調查時,記錄到草鴞育雛巢位受遊蕩犬侵擾攻擊,導致4隻來不及長大的雛鳥死亡。於影像記錄可見,結群的7隻遊蕩犬都未戴項圈,但體格十分健壯,顯示這群遊蕩犬極可能有人定期餵養。這些犬隻攻擊草鴞並非為了覓食,而是在營養良好且體力充足的狀態下,表現出狩獵天性。草鴞為一級保育類野生動物,在  台灣數量不超過500隻,對於遊蕩犬群攻擊野生動物的事件發生在草鴞身上,保育團體對此極為痛心且深感遺憾,不只憂心此瀕危物種的存續,更掛慮該地生態環境的健全。

台灣又新增一例國際認證的里山倡議案例!高雄市野鳥學會經營的「美濃湖水雉復育園區」,美濃鳥友自2017起透過承租農地營造水雉棲地,串聯野蓮農、地方政府及社區組織,成功復育在地水雉族群,同時獎勵友善生態的農作,嘗試擴大棲地面積,打造與自然和諧共存的農村環境。今年透過中華民國野鳥學會的申請,順利成為國際里山倡議夥伴關係網絡(International Partnership for the Satoyama Initiative, IPSI)的典範案例。

Taiwan has gained another internationally recognized Satoyama Initiative case study! The Meinong Lake Jacana Conservation Area (MLJCA) is managed by the by the Kaohsiung Wild Bird Society (KWBS). A project which began officially in 2021, local birders had already begun doing land adoption near Meinong Lake to recreate habitat for the birds as early as 2017. The MLJCA brings together local government and community groups to successfully restore the habitat of Pheasant-tailed Jacanas. The community also works to reward eco-friendly farming practices, expand habitat areas, and create an agricultural environment that coexists with nature. This year, thanks to an application submitted on its behalf by IPSI member the Taiwan Wild Bird Federation (TWBF), the MLJCA successfully became a certified case study by the International Partnership for the Satoyama Initiative (IPSI).
