• In 2004, Typhoon Aere brought heavy rains and landslides that destroyed the hatchery along the Qijiawan River. The previous efforts were washed away, causing a 2–3-year disruption in the off-site conservation work. However, researchers and conservationists, equipped with prior experience, remained determined to persist in their efforts. To mitigate the impact of future extreme weather events, they also began releasing salmon into multiple streams, dispersing the risks associated with such climatic challenges.

• Purely artificial breeding methods can reduce genetic diversity, so it is essential to establish a complete and sustainable breeding program.
• There is limited experience in reintroducing endangered species, making it crucial to understand the life history and habitat requirements of the Formosan landlocked salmon. 

• During Taiwan's economic miracle in the 1960s to 1980s, human development spread to the mountains, leading to overfishing, water pollution, and habitat destruction. To conserve the Formosan landlocked salmon, the Wildlife Conservation Act was enacted, and Shei-Pa National Park was established to strengthen protection efforts.

Willingness and trust amongst partners 

• Developement suppose to reach the community and it is only possible with good governce in place 

   

We have implementing replicable technological strategies to mitigate economical losses by wild felids predation reaching a reduction of the 100% of attacks from cougar and jaguar over cattle in the Cerro El Inglés Communitary reserve, protecting vulnerable individuals by solar powered electric fences and motion-sensor lights and limiting the access of domestic animals to the forest by technifying water provision for livestock and solar powered electric fences. Having a demonstrative and replicable system used for education purposes with farmers from the region.

We have been able to support the establishment of local community based social collectives as the Águilas Crestadas ecological young people group and the Farmer women network, who have become key collegates to promote conservation in the region.
We have also promoted inter institutional alliances that have enabled young people from the study area to access educational opportunities around nature conservation, agroecology and nature-based tourism.
 

Through community-based biodiversity monitoring, many new, endemic, and/or endangered species of plants, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals have been recorded, contributing to scientific knowledge and the implementation of technologies that support wildlife identification and habitat conservation.

A notable result of this effort is the documentation of six out of the seven felid species of Colombia within the area, including the rediscovery of the jaguar in the Andean region of Valle del Cauca, Colombia. Antonio, identified as an individual preying on livestock, has been tracked, revealing a movement route. We intend to explore this route as a landscape management strategy by implementing a robust trap camera monitoring program to identify potential anthropogenic impacts on wild mammals.

Serraniagua is part of regional and local co-management groups established for private and public protected areas within the Serranía de los Paraguas KBA. With financial support from the FAO, this co-management group has developed an interinstitutional action plan and protocol to address wildcat attacks on domestic animals. Between September and November, the group designed a pilot regional community-based monitoring of wild mammals using trap cameras (TC) within water resource conservation areas and private reserves, recording Antonio after two years since his last sighting. In 2025, we aim to conduct the "Plan4Coex" workshop for human-wildlife coexistence planning and incorporate the resulting plan into the updated management plan of the DRMI Serranía de los Paraguas. Additionally, we plan to provide the co-management committee with technological equipment to monitor landscape cover changes and GIS tools for managing regional and local natural reserves.
