Major Wildlife Habitats

To protect wild animals and their habitats, since the enactment of the Wildlife Conservation Act in 1989, Taiwan has actively promoted various wildlife conservation efforts and the establishment of wildlife protection zones. Since 1991, in accordance with the Wildlife Conservation Act, the Ministry of Agriculture has announced the designation of Major Wildlife Habitats(MWHs), and local governments have designated Wildlife Refuges where special protection is needed. To date, a total of 39 MWHs have been designated.

Since April 28, 2018, the Ocean Affairs Council and its affiliated agencies were formally established to handle marine conservation affairs. The responsibilities of the central competent authority for five MWHs - Taoyuan Guan-Xin Algal Reefs Ecosystem MHW, Matsu islands MWH, Mianhua Islet MWH, Huaping Islet MWH, and Penghu County Mao Islet MWH have been transferred to its jurisdiction. In 2020, the Ocean Affairs Council has announced the Indo-Pacific Humpback Dolphin MWH. To date, a total of six marine MWHs have been designated.

Maps of terrestrial MWHs can be downloaded from the “MOA Open Data” website.
