This project revises the three technical specifications for ecological assessment (including wildlife, plant and marine) used by the Ministry of Environment (MOEnv) in the review of environmental impact assessment. It has undergone four major revisions, including (1) the completion of the first draft based on existing regulations, with reference to more than 2,000 domestic literature, and more than 300 environmental impact assessment (EIA) review documents from the Environmental Protection Administration and the MOEnv; (2) Based on the comments and suggestions from the first 14-experts meeting, mid-term report and the contributions from a person, we complete the second draft version; (3) After 4 public briefing meetings, the third version was completed according to the suggestions of the public; and (4) Following the opinions of the second 12-experts meeting, the fourth version was completed. After these meetings and reviews, related people have a full understanding of the relevant technical specifications, and we have obtained the convergence of opinions, and thus finalized the three draft technical guidelines.
We recommend that the MOEnv can implement these technical specifications through legal procedures to allow the related sectors can follow in conducting ecological surveys or monitoring operations. This allows the EIA review to be carried out with less controversy caused by the lack of ecological surveys, speed up the review process and reduce criticism from the public.
Regarding the data derived from these ecological surveys, we suggests that the MOEnv can consider joining TBIA (Taiwan Biodiversity Information Alliance) to share these data with other agencies, and can also obtain the data from other organizations to produce biological distribution maps, and provide important reference information, such as the distribution information of precious and rare specues, conservation wildlife and biological hotspots, as aids to the EIA review. Based on these information, we expect many project developers can carry out impact mitigation measures and ecological compensation considerations, and strengthen the conservation of biodiversity in Taiwan.
