Description of Our Community: The mainly habitat of Taipei grass frogs are Taipei Sanchih, Taoyuan Yangmei, Longtan and Tainan. Taoyuan has a special name which is called “Country of the thousand ponds” by people all the time, Taipei grass frog could have such a lot of habitats to live because of these ponds. But their habitats become less and less accompany the exploitation of ponds. There are only Yangmei, Longtan have the habitats in Taoyuan region at present. There are quite a few Taipei grass frogs in Mr. Yang’s lotus field in Taipei Sanchih. On weekends, visiters likes to go to the lotus field to enjoy these fascinating lotus, so Mr. Yang make a living by these lotus, sometimes he would also sell them to other cities that have organic shops like Taoyuan, Shinjhuang, Zhong-he or Banciao. Although there are only fifteen or sixteen branches of lotus ,Mr. Yang insists that he should deliver them in person, he thought ”Honesty” is the most important thing on business transaction. Insect pest can not make inroads while the lotus are going to crop, but if man sprinkle the insecticides, that would affect the Taipei grass frogs, all of them might die. Finally, Mr. Yang, who is the lotus field’s owner, and Mr. Lin, who is Taipei grass frog’s guardian, they fond a balance between protect the lotus and save Taipei grass frogs. In Tainan, Taipei grass frogs have to change their habitats while the Water chestnut field is on fallow. Taipei grass frogs will face the remove problem in case the industry of locality gets degenerate. Taipei grass frogs would be extinct much faster than now if we just continue to disregard them.
Project Description: Two years ago, while a team from Fudan high school, which is in Ping-jen city in Taoyuan, was investigating No.731 Wetland for military use, they discovered a pretty lovely frog. The frog was different from other frogs that we had seen before, it was small and colorful. On the basis of curious about that frog, we started our designated topic-Taipei grass frog. First, we searched the specialized person or the connected information on the internet, all of us were busy with the Taipei grass frogs, then we began to contact the person who known something about it, we asked them whether we could visit them or not. As time went by, we gradually known Taipei grass frog, it is so important in our biosphere. We hope we could tell everyone through our website that no matter Taipei grass frog or other creature, we all have to protect them, let them live leisurely and carefree in the world. By the way, we also hope that we could let more and more people know Taipei grass frog by our website, Taipei grass frog can have much chance to live thus. Taipei grass frogs are facing the problem of extinction in Taiwan now, but most of people do not know much about them, also do not understand what’ s their condition right now. So we put the topics like introduce Taipei grass frog, Taipei grass frog’s habitats, something about preservation and restoration of Taipei grass frog on our website.
