學會簡介


台灣生態學會

創設於1991年12月的「台灣生態研究中心」為一真正NGO非政府民間組織,設置主目的有六,即建立台灣自然史;設置自然及環保資料庫或標本館;進行自然生態及環境保護研究調查計畫;出版;社會關懷;國際聯繫等。十年來,台生中心執行超過百項研究調查、社會告知、推廣教育、森林及環保運動…,其成果社會有目共睹,且我們從來只在乎腳踏實地的付出,立場堅定而無虛榮或聲張;我們強調自然平權,要開創台灣的深層文化與社會價值改造。

1998年以降,我們培育了七期環境佈道師之後,確認更普遍、更深入的長期教育是新世紀台灣之所需。2001年,台灣生態研究中心創辦人陳玉峰等,在靜宜大學開辦全國第一所結合價值哲學與生態學的「生態學研究所碩士班」;92年度起設置大學部「生態學系」;同時,籌募基金建設「台灣生態暨人文資訊館」,並已於2003年10月掛牌運作。

「台灣生態暨人文資訊館」除了是生態學研究所的基地之外,更將積極進行社會服務,因而籌設立案型的「台灣生態學會」,本會亦於2003年10月成立全國性社團並開始運作。

學會以擴展「台灣生態研究中心」之宗旨,從事多面向之社會關懷與教育工作,同時以出版季刊、通訊、電子報等管道,提供各界生態教育、研究、社會關懷之相關資訊。歡迎任何關心台灣土地、生界及文化,有心、有識、有興趣、自認為具備付出型社會人格的朋友們參加。而「台灣生態研究中心」仍依其傳統而續存。

目前,本會正式開始運作,歡迎各界有識之士加入會員,為台灣生界之圓滿共同努力。


Taiwan Academy of Ecology

The Taiwan Ecological Research Center, established in December 1991, is a real NGO non-governmental organization. It has six main purposes: the establishment of Taiwan's natural history; setting up natural and environmental database or herbarium; carrying out the natural ecology and environmental protection Survey and Research Project; publishing; social care; and international links. During the two decades, the Taiwan Ecological Research Center has performed more than one hundred research  survey, using letters to the press, speeches, and publications to explain to the public,  promotion of education, forest protection and environmental movement.  It already has considerable contributions to Taiwan. We are down to earth, devoting ourselves to serving the society; we stand firm without vanity or bluff, never boasting of our own accomplishments; we emphasize the natural equal rights, as well as begin deep cultural and social value transformation in Taiwan.

  Since 1998, we cultivated environmental preachers for seven years.  We confirm that more in-depth long-term education is required for Taiwan in 21st century. In 2001, founder of Taiwan's Ecology Research Center, Chen Yu-feng, established "Ecology Graduate School" in Providence University, the first one in Taiwan that combines value philosophy and ecology.  In 2003, the undergraduate program, "Department of Ecology" was set up.  At the same time , Chen Yu-feng raised funds to constructe the " Taiwan Ecology and Humanities Information Center."  The center came into operation in October 2003.    In addition to being the base of Ecology Graduate School, "Taiwan ecology and Humanities Information Center" actively carried out community service, and furthermore planned to set up "Taiwan Academy of Ecology."  Taiwan Academy of Ecology is a national association and began to operate in October 2003.  Its aim is to extend the goals of Taiwan Ecological Research Center. 

Its purpose is to engage  in multidimensional social care and educational work.  It publishes quarterly journals, communications, newsletters and provideds other channels for public ecological education, research, as well as information related to social care. It welcomes those who possess the character, including interested in the land, ecology, and culture of Taiwan; with knowledge and enthusiasm; willing to serve the society, to join.   According to tradition, Taiwan Ecological Research Center continues its operation.

  Currently, Taiwan Academy of Ecology is in operation.  It welcomes people from all works of life to join as members to work together for a better environment of Taiwan.
