Dr.Jane Goodall visited Chang Jung Christian University in 2014, we initiated the long-term cooperation plan of establishing the “International Jane Goodall’s Roots & Shoots Eco-center” and planted a tree of hope at the site of the newly founded ecological center where the spirit of Jane Goodall can sprout and thrive with hope that the young people in Taiwan will create a better world.
The Eco-center takes the concept of the University’s Christian spirit as its main driving force for development. Based on the principle of holistic education, the Center follows the practice of the Universities development strategy, gradually expanding its international perspective and striving to provide sustainable education for everyone, while affirming the dignity and value of all life.
Eco-center's environmental education program aims at awareness, knowledge, environmental ethics, civic action skills, and civic action experience. The main characteristic of the program revolves around the International Roots & Shoots action and spirit. Based on learning experience and age differences, the program allows the student to obtain the appropriate concept. The eco-center expands and develops Taiwanese students' local experience into an international exchange…

The design concept of the program combines localization and the Roots & Shoots international action plan to develop the series ""Highlights of Paper Bricks"",""New Hope for Erren River"". and ""Water Magician"".

The National Science and Technology Museum is a national social education institution aimed at promoting science and technology education. Therefore, the National Science and Technology Museum is dedicated to the research, design, and display of various technological themes, and to introduce important technological development and its influence on everyday lives.

The Shanhua Brewery is part of the state-owned Taiwan Tobacco and Liquor Corporation. Based on the sale of alcoholic beverages, the brewery is committed to environmental sustainability. It promotes tourism and preserves historical culture through the use of historical buildings, cultural elements, and an environmental education park. In addition, waste generated during the brewing process, including sludge, lees, distiller’s grains, and spent grain, is processed for reuse. The sludge is converted into organic compost, which is used to promote plant growth within the brewery, helping to reduce environmental pollution. The brewery also advocates environmental protection by effectively recycling water, steam, and other energy resources, creating a park that combines tourism, historical culture, and waste reuse as a learning and educational hub.

The park is located at the end of National Highway No. 10 and serves as a must-pass point for traveling between the nine districts of east Kaohsiung . During the Japanese colonial period, this area was once a glorious “Banana Kingdom,” and the slogan “North Jiufen, South Qishan” was even coined.

The sugar industry and the presence of the Japanese gave Qishan bananas an irreplaceable position. However, as times changed, the sugar industry declined, and its former glory faded away. The Japanese left, but Qishan’s bananas remained, surviving only in the stories told by the older generation.

You may not be aware that bananas are the fruit that generates the most agricultural waste. However, here you will learn how we transform various agricultural waste into something magical, achieving low-carbon sustainable development through a circular economy. By integrating local cultural and historical context with the sugar industry, we create two environmental education programs. Through sensory experiences, participants explore and understand the “Banana Kingdom,” immersing themselves in the sugar-producing countryside.

These programs emphasize the importance of cultural preservation, community identity, and learning to coexist harmoniously with the natural environment in our pursuit of a low-carbon, sustainable home

The rescue excavation of the Peinan Site led to the construction of National Museum of Prehistory(NMP).

In July 1980, during the construction of today's Taitung Railway Station of South Link Line (formerly Peinan Railway Station of East Link Line) and a marshalling yard, rich prehistoric remains of Peinan Site were discovered. A number of slate coffins and exquisite grave goods in the coffins were dug out and exposed on the ground, which attracted great public interest and grave robbery.

Media exposure of the robbery urged the government to halt the construction. The construction was suspended after Taitung County Government reported the issue to the authorities concerned. Furthermore, the rescue excavation of the site was delegated to Professor Wen-hsun Sung of Department of Anthropology of National Taiwan University with students of the department, who then formed the Peinan Culture Archaeology Team.

In the next decade, more than ten rescue excavations were carried out during summer and winter vacations by the team led by Professor Sung and Professor Chao-mei Lien. The Peinan Site was recorded as the biggest site on the history of Taiwanese archaeology, where the range of excavation was no less than 10,000 square meters, and more than 2,000 burials and tens of thousands of potteries and stone tools were discovered. The site is academically considered representative of the upper and later Neolithic period, and the biggest site of slate coffins and burial remains around the Pacific Rim and across Southeastern Asia.

Professor Sung suggested that if we were to preserve the Peinan Site, an outdoor museum of the site should be built nearby. This was the first proposal for building a museum based on the Peinan Site. After considerable efforts, NMP Planning Bureau was finally founded on February 1, 1990. NMP started trial operation on July 10, 2001, and was officially opened on August 17, 2002. Since then, NMP has become the foundation of research and preservation of Taiwanese prehistoric sites and cultures.
