屏科大社區林業研究室 3.21

Ecotourism in Pingtung, Taiwan
______________________________________

我們是來自屏科大森林系的社區林業研究室學生，
由陳美惠老師帶領團隊進入社區部落，
以社區營造的方式與居民共同發展生態旅遊，
因為我們相信生態旅遊是一種可以讓在地居民用愛護自然、保育生物多樣性，
且同時並不與經濟生計相違背的方式去維護原來的生活及文化，
進而影響大眾共同重視生態保育的重要性，
歡迎參加社區林業生態旅遊，
一起尊重自然人文導向、回饋社區的永續經營。

In summary, our laboratory is working to:
1. Build an interest in ecology, biodiversity, and indigenous cultures among all people within Taiwan and beyond.
2. Empower local communities by bridging the communication gap between these communities and outside organizations, companies, and the government.
