Black-faced spoonbill is a protected migrating bird. In light of the shrinking habitat of black-faced spoonbill due to environment changes, Taijiang National Park Headquarters in 2011 commissioned Director Liang Chieh-Teto produce the ecological film “The Passenger in the Wind – theBlack-facedSpoonbill,” which took nearly 2 years to complete, to promote the conservation of black-faced spoonbill. Numerous film presentations have been planned in Liukong Visitor Center, where visitors can learn about the habits, migration, and domestic and foreign conservation of black-faced spoonbill and national park conservation concepts through the film, embedding the story of black-faced spoonbill deep in people’s hearts.
