National Cheng Kung University (NCKU) is dedicated to the conservation of native species in Taiwan, monitoring and protecting the island's unique fauna, including birds, butterflies, bats, amphibians, and other wildlife listed in the IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature) Red List.

Marine Biology and Cetacean Research Center: NCKU has established a Marine Biology and Cetacean Research Center, responsible for assisting in the rescue and treatment of stranded cetaceans along the Taiwanese coast. This center conducts rescue operations, medical care, rehabilitation, and release into the wild, as well as research involving the dissection, sampling, and analysis of stranded cetaceans. Upon finding stranded cetaceans, the center will immediately activate a cetacean rescue station and perform subsequent rescue operations.

These initiatives and research projects demonstrate NCKU's commitment to the conservation and protection of Taiwan's biodiversity and unique wildlife; its dedication to raising awareness and taking action to safeguard these valuable natural resources is praiseworthy.
