NCUE has undertaken various projects and activities, including Department of Biology’s “Project of Taoyuan International Airport Corporation / Entrusted Planning and Design for RIFA Control’.” They are described briefly in the following section.

Taoyuan International Airport is located in the Dayuan District. In 2004, Taoyuan International Airport determined that the area around Taoyuan Airport, the airport traffic lane, and some parts of the lawn that divide the running chute were invaded by the RIFA. The project team has achieved remarkable results after years of prevention and control work. The entire airport area has been lifted from the list of management by the government in May 2018. However, Taoyuan International Airport is located in the Dayuan District of Taoyuan City, and the current RIFA population distribution and density in Dayuan District are still relatively serious, Taoyuan International Airport is still in an area susceptible to RIFA recurrence. The goal of the project team is to continue to assist Taoyuan International Airport in the prevention and control of RIFA in the entire airport area, including the manpower planning and execution in the control and investigation field operations, planning for the types of prevention and control agents, method suggestion and execution, RIFA monitoring execution and control rate reporting, assistance in reports required by the competent authorities, and checking related matters on RIFA prevention and control. The project also assists Taoyuan International Airport in organizing the RIFA Education and Training Course, which trains 120 trainees each year. Related event photos are shown in Figure.
