Welcome to the captivating course Workshop on Biodiversity offered by the M.S. in Biodiversity program. Led by lecturer Dau-Jye Lu, this immersive learning experience combines theoretical knowledge with on-site exploration, fostering interactions between local communities, scholars, and government entities.

The course begins with engaging lectures that introduce Taiwan's diverse protected areas, followed by immersive field trips where classroom teachings come to life. We arrange journeys to remarkable destinations, such as the experimental forests of this university, which encompass 1% of Taiwan's territory and boast breathtaking wilderness and a close bond with local communities and indigenous people, and visits to protected areas, such as Yangmingshan National Park, engaging in insightful discussions with government officials, observing the harmonious balance between area management, ecosystem services, and community development. Gain a comprehensive understanding of policy management, governance, and the human dimensions associated with a specific area.

The highlight of this course is the integration of experts from NGOs, governmental bodies, and biodiversity fields, providing valuable insights into future career paths and exposing students to international research results.

If you are passionate about exploring the human dimension of biodiversity, we warmly invite you to join us in this extraordinary course. Unleash your potential, broaden your horizons, and become a steward of the natural world.
