PeoPo’s Liugui Your Shoot - Visiting the magnificent forest

During the Japanese occupation of Taiwan, Liugui Forestry Research Institute was affiliated with Kyoto University. The Japanese government took a liking to the abundant forest resources in the mountains of Liugui and developed a 100-year-old experimental site for the camphor industry in the area.

In addition to Liugui Forestry Research Institute, which works hard at protecting the precious mountain forests of Liugui, Dodo Wetland School brought together a group of community volunteers following the typhoon Morakot disaster and has spent nine years rebuilding the wetland environment in the hope of restoring the rich ecology of Liugui. For this latest Your Shoot event, PeoPo Citizen Journalism Platform teamed up with Liugui Forestry Research Institute and Dodo Wetland School to lead citizen journalists into the forest and acquaint them with the rich ecology of Liugui.

從日據時代就存在的高雄林業試驗所六龜分所，前身是京都帝國大學的演習林。日本政府看中六龜地區豐富的山林資源，因而在此開發樟腦產業有百年歷史的試驗所。

除了林業試驗所守護著六龜的珍貴山林，多多鳥溼地學校在莫拉克風災後召集了一群社區志工花了9年時間重建溼地環境，期望回復六龜原有的豐富生態。這次PeoPo公民新聞平台與林業試驗所六龜研究中心，以及多多鳥工作室共同舉辦踹拍活動，帶領公民記者們走進山林、認識六龜生態。
