PeoPo “Your Shoot” hits Budai – Recording the community and ecology

The first PeoPo Citizen Journalism Platform “Your Shoot” event of 2015 hit the streets of Xinceng Community in Budai Township, Chiayi County on Saturday the 21st of March. The area’s precious wetlands are an important habitat for the black-faced spoonbill, and by the beginning of the year 300 black-faced spoonbills had already been spotted in the area. Xinceng Community is also Taiwan’s only restoration base for the king crab (Limulus polyphemus), a true living fossil.

Over the past few years, community residents and local organizations have worked together to realize their vision of “supporting the black-faced spoonbill, and raising future generations of the king crab”. Xinceng Community is endeavoring to create fertile wetlands where people can live in harmony with nature. At this Your Shoot event, over 60 participating citizen journalists enjoyed a wonderful trip to Budai’s rich ecological habitat, where they filmed a diverse array of related local issues.

URL:https://www.peopo.org/news/271601

2015年PeoPo公民新聞平台的第一場踹拍，在3月21日周六於嘉義縣布袋鎮新岑社區登場，當地有珍貴的溼地，是黑面琵鷺重要的棲息地，到今年年初，在布袋鎮已經發現有300隻黑面琵鷺在此棲息，而新岑社區也是台灣本島唯一活化石「鱟」的復育基地。

近年來，在社區居民、與地方團體一同協力下，盼以「黑琵抵嘉‧鱟起之秀」為願景，將新岑社區打造為人與自然共生共榮的濕地糧倉。透過這次的踹拍活動，60多位參與的公民記者也體驗了一趟豐富的生態記錄之旅，並用鏡頭記錄相關議題，。
