| Environmental Conservation and Care for Sustainable Environmental Development | Adoption of Kaohsiung Park | Irregular ecological surveys are conducted in Kaohsiung Park, which occupies an area of 5.8 hectares, to record data. At the same time, promote greening in the park to provide open space for residents in the Xiaogang District and to reduce carbon emissions. | |
| Summer Ecology Camp | In 2022, the Summer Ecology Camp will be held at the National Museum of Marine Biology & Aquarium in Pingtung, with two overnight stays at the Museum. 80 Students from elementary in the camp. Spaces for the camp were rapidly booked out as soon as registration opened, which shows the public's affirmation for the effectiveness of the Foundation's long-running ecology camps. We also combined environmental education, life practices, and stargazing courses to enrich the students' learning, allowing participants to have a better understanding of the relationship between marine ecosystem and humans. | ||
| Light Up and Spread the Love | We sponsored the National Science and Technology Museum to organize the “2022 Light Up and Spread the Love Tour” to promote disadvantaged students to visit the Museum and to balance educational resources to enhance the effectiveness of school teaching. In addition, the Group has set up a climate change exhibition hall in the Museum for students to learn about the efforts of CSC in environmental issues such as circular economy. | ||
| KRTC Summer Camp | We sponsored the Kaohsiung Rapid Transit Corporation to hold the 2022 KRTC Summer Camp for 120 elementary school students to learn more about the public transportation system, including a tour of the control center, large-scale public art and maintenance work, in order to encourage the children to make more use of the public transportation system to achieve the common goal of a carbon-reduced life and environmental sustainability. The students were very impressed to be able to enter the MRT maintenance factory and learn how to use the escape equipment in the vehicles in case of emergency. | ||
| Collaborated with the Kaohsiung Museum of Fine Arts on the “KMFA - What's in the Lake” event. KMFA retained the pools used for soaking timber in the past, making it the only museum in Taiwan that has an ecological pool. However, the concept of releasing foreign species in the pools has led to an increase in the number of foreign species, which in turn has reduced the living space for native species. On the day of the event, Professor Liang Shih-Hsiung from National Taiwan Normal University was invited to introduce the research on the impact of invasive fish species on the ecosystem and how to remove them, so as to draw the public's attention to environmental conservation. Lastly, the participants made fish-shaped key rings by hand to deepen their impression. | |||
| In conjunction with the parent-child activities at the CSC's Shou Shan Zoo Celebration event, we invited Guangxing Elementary School in Meinong District, Xiaolin Elementary School in Jiaxian District, Longxing Elementary School in Liugui District, Yuemei Elementary School in Shanlin District, and Taiwu Elementary School in Taiwu Township, Pingtung County.
