What does the project reflect and impact on us?
By collecting the information about Taiwan local water
plants, we found the extinct crisis of Taiwan
prototype.
After searching for the reason, we found that since a very serious
typhoon, there are five main problems: the loss of habitats, the
invasion of adventives, growing population, pollution and
over-development.
Human beings
are the children of Nature; we were born from the earth like
other life. We like the breeze over the wetlands and fresh air
after the rain, and the other life do as well. We use our
intelligence to develop paradise on the earth, but we
sometimes forget the living right of other life. If we misuse
the sources on the earth, we are too selfish and take other
life's living right.
We would like to appreciate that our school provide this great
chance for us. We understand the serious problems of ecological
environment and conservation, so we hope to extend the wetlands
which have special Taiwan local plants. The people in the
community can love the Nature through the way they realize the
importance of wetlands.
What did the people in the community volunteer their help?

Besides the journals, books, websites which we have noted the
source by APA forms, the other parts of written information are
done by us. We took most of the photos by ourselves. We also used
some pictures which require the owners' permission.
Discoveries, Lessons and
Surprises?
In July we
found that pond scum invaded the almost spread the all
wetlands. This was a serious problem. Therefore, during the
time of summer camp, our teachers leaded us to clean the pond
scum. As we clean it, we found lots of
nymphs of the dragonflies
in the scum. And there were 2 different kinds of
nymphs of the dragonflies
：dragonfly
and
damselfly.
We needed to use storax to clean the scum but still keep
nymphs of the dragonflies.
In the late September, we found the fish like
Red tilapia
which ate the
Medaka Fish、Mosquitofish,
and fishes
like
Lake candidus dace、Freshwater
minnow
were dead because other
fish bit them. So it's important to plan to hunt the
Red tilapia
and tell people not to put any animals and plants in the
wetlands. We were lucky to have professors from
Chiayi University
to teach us the knowledge about ecological subject.
