Description of Our Community: The survival and breeding of Pheasants-tailed jacanas have been destroyed since Taiwan High Speed Rail was built over their natural habitat, Hulupi, Guantian Township, Tainan County. The water fairy, Pheasant-tailed jacana, was going to be in danger then. Owing to the plan of Chiu Man Xieng, ex-executive supervisor of Taiwan Ecotourism association, the Tainan Government united the Council of Agriculture, Executive Yuan(CAEY), Bureau of High Speed Rail (MOTC), Taiwan High Speed Rail (THSR), Wild Birds Federation, as well as other associations such as Wetlands Taiwan to set up a working team to construct the habitats suitable for Jacanas’ breeding.
