As part of the collaboration between the Taiwan Wild Bird Federation and the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds on the topic of seabird bycatch mitigation, the TWBF hosted two international experts from November 5th to November 12, 2022. The guests included Ms. Stephanie Prince, the High Seas Programme Manager for the RSPB and Dr. Dimas Gianuca of Brazil, a seabird bycatch expert. It was Ms. Prince's fourth trip to Taiwan and the first for Dr. Gianuca.

On May 14th, 2022, birders and nature enthusiasts around the world joined in the third annual Global Big Day bird count organized by Global Birding and powered by the eBird online platform. During the event, 51,455 people from 201 countries recorded 7,673 species on 132,350 checklists, an increase of 433 species from the 2021 Global Big Day!

On Thursday March 10, 2022, the Taiwan Wild Bird Federation, Taiwan Endemic Species Research Institute, Czech Society for Ornithology and related individuals met virtually for the first time to discuss birds, conservation issues, and citizen science in Czechia and Taiwan. The event was organized by the TWBF with support from the CSO and TESRI. A total of 46 people attended.

In November, the Taiwan Wild Bird Federation hosted the "Major Topics in International Bird Conservation" webinar series. It was created in coordination with the Taiwan Endemic Species Research Institute and with the support of the Forestry Bureau. These sessions were organized to build on the publication of Taiwan's first national bird report, the State of Taiwan's Birds 2020, and discuss its content with wider audiences. Four of the six webinars featured international scholars and experts from a range of fields. Participants were able to fully engage with the speakers about their topics as they were held in English with simultaneous Mandarin translation. 

In today's world, almost everything happens on the internet, buying clothes, reading the news, even dating. But what about information on wildlife and conservation-related topics? In today's ever-connected world it is critical to be able to share information and raise awareness about your brand, especially online. Wildlife conservation is no different. That's why the TWBF has been working hard to maintain a strong presence on various social media platforms.
