Environmental Protection
In line with UN SDG 15 “Life on Land” and the Trillion Trees Act, we gradually initiated various environmental protection actions (beach cleaning, mountain cleaning, adoption of forest areas, and removal of Mikania micrantha) starting in 2018 and will persist in our efforts to achieve brilliant results. This program not only helps absorb carbon dioxide, purify the air, and conserve soil and water but also represents a valuable contribution to environmental beautification, protection of local biodiversity, and bringing out the beauty of our island.
Forestation
Forestation
Since 2009, we have been engaged in an afforestation program in cooperation with the Taiwanese Forestry Bureau. We have planted a total of 12,474 trees covering an area of 11.9 hectares. Since each of these trees absorbs 12kg of carbon per year, annual CO2 absorption amounts to approximately 149.68 metric tons.

2019 ~2022 Adoption of forest areas
2019 ~2022 Adoption of forest areas
- We signed a contract with the Forestry Bureau for the adoption of two areas of forest land totaling 1.21 hectares in the Four Beasts Trail forest planting area.In addition to the planting of new trees, we also engage in mowing, weeding (bitter vine control), and replanting.Annual carbon absorption of this project equals 13.19 tons (2022 Ecological Restoration Program in Land Areas of Concern – Project No.12).
- In 2024, the contract with the Forestry Bureau will be renewed to remove Mikania micrantha, and we will contribute to environmental sust ainability.
