Taiwan is a stop-off point for many migratory birds, and Qingshui Wetland in Jinshan District, New Taipei City was once an important habitat for migratory birds on their journey due to the prevalence of paddy fields in the early days. However, factors such as industrial transformation and the drying wetland have gradually reduced local habitats for migratory birds. Starting from 2014, in response to the Satoyama Initiative, the Water Resources Department, the Construction and Planning Agency of the Ministry of the Interior, and Spring Thunder Environmental Society launched the Jinshan Initiative—The Qingshui Wetland Landscape Maintenance and In-Depth Industrial Cultivation Project, which focuses on the ecological rehabilitation of the central area of the Jinshan Environmental Education Base and promoting eco-friendly farming and environmental education. It has also successfully increased the sighting record of wetland bird species by 2.4 times compared with that 5 years ago, and the total number of birds has increased by 10 times. The black-faced spoonbills, an endangered species, have been spotted in Qingshui Wetland for several consecutive years. In addition, the positive cycles of organic farmland and the wetland’s ecosystem as well as environmental education have become local features.
