1. Maintain an eco-friendly environment
Ecological survey of the Park
Maintaining the ecology of the Park is one of the firm principles of the CTSP. In accordance with the EIA commitment, an ecological survey is carried out in each Park (Taichung, Houli, Erlin, and Zhongxing) on a regular basis every year, and the rich species in the Park are recorded. On the migration route of migratory birds in East Asia, the number of northern migratory birds that come to spend winter is often more than that of summer migratory birds that come here to breed in summer. In addition, some resident birds have the habit of descending migratory in winter, so it can be recorded in autumn and winter that most of them belong to winter migratory birds, or the descending migratory birds in winter. If the weather is warm in spring and summer, there are many species of resident birds.
The surrounding environment of the Park is mostly grassland or farmland. Most of the recorded species are common species. Because amphibians and reptiles breed in spring and summer, the number of species is the largest in spring and summer. The monitoring site of the water area is the downstream water body of the specially-managed water outlet of Houli Park and the sewage discharge outlet of Zhongxing Park. The project includes fish, benthic organisms, aquatic insects, and phytoplankton. In 2021, because the various parks of CTSP are committed to ecological environment conservation, the ecological survey results have shown the habitat of increasing species. In the future, we will continue to promote environmental conservation, so that more species are willing to come and enrich the habitat of the Park.
Ecological rehabilitation
According to the commitment of EIA, the Bureau has set up 15 nest boxes in Guangfu Elementary School (Zhongxing New Village), Guangrong Elementary School, Guanghua Elementary School, Learning Center and Hushan Farm near Zhongxing Park. On March 14th, 2022, it was found that the collar-horned owl in the target species lived in the first nest box, including two collar-horned owl eggs. By April, it was observed that two chicks had hatched successfully and followed up. In addition, it is recorded that Hemidactylis platyurus came to live and use. In addition, the Bureau has also set up 13 nest boxes in Huwei Sewage Treatment Plant and Guangfu Elementary School (Huwei Town), which are mainly used for bat breeding, wintering and general habitat, and observed the biological utilization of East Asian house bat, Horikawa brown bat and Yellow Bat. In 2022 and 2023, the number of bat nest boxes used was 138 and 135 respectively.
2. Promote environmental education
Clean Beach Activity
CTSP Bureau and Community Development Association have been holding beach cleaning activities for the 11th year. CTSP invited park manufacturers to lead employees, together with Da 'an District Office, Guike Li Community Development Association staff and volunteers, to jointly clean up the garbage on the beach next to Guike Ecological Park in Da 'an District on September 23rd, 2023, so as to protect the environment and keep the coast clean.
In addition to actually cleaning up the beach garbage, beach cleaning activities are the practice of environmental education, and appeal to the public to understand the seriousness of marine pollution, and start with small actions such as reducing the use of disposable plastic products in daily life, implement waste reduction and jointly protect the environment. This time, with the cooperation of about 300 participants, about 50 bags and 550 kilograms of garbage were picked up, and we work together to practice green action and love the earth.
Environmental Education Courses
CTSP Bureau's sewage treatment plants in Taichung, Huwei, and Houli Park have all been certified by the Environmental Protection Agency as environmental education facilities. They actively promote environmental education to make local residents better understand the role of sewage plants, and at the same time take root in the development of elementary and middle school education courses, run certification courses, invite students from neighboring schools to participate in course programs and provide suggestions for improvement, convey the function of environmental protection and education of sewage treatment plants. The plants not only achieve the effect of close friendship and good neighborliness, but also serves the purpose of environmental education. In 2022, there were 33 environmental education activities for sewage plants in Taichung, Huwei and Houli Park, with a total of 822 participants. In 2023, 79 environmental education activities were held, with a total of 2,427 participants.
◉ On January 8, 2022, we jointly promoted the environmental education carnival stall with the Central Environmental Education Places Alliance, including AUO Sustainable Foundation, TSMC No.15 Factory and other units.
◉ On March 30, 2023, the handover ceremony of the Central District Environme ntal Education Places Alliance was held, and a memorandum of cooperation was signed with 20 environmental education places and 16 units of the Alliance, including AUO Sustainable Foundation and TSMC No.15 Factory.
◉ On May 2, 2023, the environmental education certification site was extended.
◉ On September 2-3, 2023, in cooperation with the 33rd International Symposium on Academic and Practical Exchange of Environmental Education, we went to the National Taichung University of Education to set up a booth, in order to design a way to break through the customs, effectively publicize the importance of water resources reuse and understand sewage treatment.
