The Luxuriant Outlook of Taiwan's Natural Habitats
Taiwan has set aside numerous areas of land with the goal of protecting wildlife and preserving the natural environment, including 19 nature reserves, 39 wildlife refuges and habitats, 6 national parks, and 10 forest reserves. These four types of protected areas occupy a total of 699,197 hectares of land, or 19.2 percent of Taiwan's total land area, and cover a variety of different ecosystems ranging from tropical to frigid zones. Thus, Taiwan has a rich and complex network of plants, animals, and microorganisms, with roughly 25 percent of the island's flora and fauna considered indigenous. This great diversity is a treasure of Taiwan's natural heritage.
