SDG 15.3.3 Local biodiversity included in planning and development
1. The buildings on our university campuses were constructed in compliance with laws and regulations, adhering to the laws and regulations during development. Biodiversity was considered during the planning and development stages. For example, while planning the construction of the Wang Jin-Ping Activity Center, we added foliage by planting “Buddha pine, true cypress, crape myrtle, bamboo, camellia, etc.” around the center, related photos as shown in Figure 1. Additionally, NCUE's University Social Responsibility Implementation Project: Ecological Homelands and Urban-Rural Sustainability: A Changhua Ecological Art Project also incorporates local biodiversity into its planning.

Changhua City Xiangshan Trail Eastern Park Ecological Tour Series Events: 'Xiangshan Trail Eastern Park' Ecological Mini-Tours.
In collaboration with Xiangshan Village, three "Ecological Tour Training Workshops" will be organized. These workshops will include static ecological explanations of Xiangshan and on-site tour guide training. The goal is to promote ecological mini-tours at the Xiangshan Ecological Art Park, train 48 seed tour guides, and serve 78 local residents. This partnership with Xiangshan Village aims to become a community practice partner in the local ecological sustainability system.
Additionally, students will be guided on an "Ecological Mini-Tour" at the partnered site, "Xiangshan Trail Eastern Park." This excursion will complement classroom learning on botany by providing students with real-life observation opportunities and expanding teaching methods through ecological tours.
