NCKU’s policies towards alien species impact reduction
In response to invasive species that are both aggressive and harmful to native flora and fauna, such as the lychee giant stink bug, fall armyworm, yellow crazy ant, and red imported fire ant, NCKU collaborates with the Ministry of Agriculture and follows its guidelines to disseminate information and conduct workshops to raise awareness about the prevention and control of these species within the university community. Additionally, NCKU establishes control strategies in accordance with regulations set by the Ministry of Education. The university removes invasive species through methods such as inspection, identification, reporting, and management.
Furthermore, NCKU prioritizes the development of an on-campus ecological environment. NCKU focuses on maintaining a level of biodiversity by planting native tree species, protecting habitats for native wildlife, and ensuring the stability of the campus's natural ecosystem.
