Description of Our Community: Fengshu Village, Tongxiao Township, Miaoli County, is also known as Fengshuwo. It is part of satoyama . There are about 400 residents here, mainly engaged in agriculture. Wumei Junior High School is close to Fengshuwo and is one of the school districts. Fengshuwo is also one of the leopard cat hot areas in Taiwan. In 2012, Dr. Chen Meiting persuaded farmers to promote friendly farming,leopard cat rice,in this community, encouraging farmers to develop non-toxic farming and a friendly ecological environment. By doing that farmers and leopard cats can find a way for peaceful coexistence between economic and nature conservation.

Project Description: We believe that the issue of leopard cat conservation has its urgency. Everyone should protect leopard cats and take good care of them. In addition, our community is one of the rare leopard cat hot areas. The extinction of leopard cats has caused the ecological crisis. We can’t stay out of the situation, so we want to solve the problems we have found and make more people know that leopard cats are apex predators belong to the high-end consumer group in the shallow mountain forest. The extinction of the them will break the balance of the natural ecology,and it will destroy the chain of our natural ecology.We can’t afford the less of any species,so we have to take action to protect our Taiwanese species now.
