Online Course

Long term partnership with the AI2 Team

Cisco 5-7 year support 

It collects data from the LoRaWan Gateways and transports this data from field based sensors on to Node Red which sends data to Earth Ranger.

It can be self managed through training. It is easy replicable.

It can be deployed on-premise or on the cloud

• The Formosan landlocked salmon serves as a vital environmental indicator; protecting this species contributes to overall environmental improvement.
• Environmental education initiatives include interpretive services and guided tours along Qijiawan River, collaborative community and tribal education efforts, conservation-focused courses and ecological camps designed with schools, and volunteer recruitment for hands-on conservation work.
• Plans are underway to introduce immersive experience classrooms, where participants can wear wetsuits and enter the stream to observe the Formosan landlocked salmon in its natural habitat. These experiences aim to deepen public understanding, foster care, and inspire action to protect stream ecosystems and water resources.

• High-altitude agriculture in the upper Dajia River and its tributaries polluted the ecosystem, with water quality degradation being a primary factor in the near extinction of the Formosan landlocked salmon.
• An intact forest environment supports the three critical conditions for the salmon's survival: temperature regulation, food availability, and clean water.
• In 1997, plans were initiated to install wastewater treatment systems to manage sewage from Wuling Farm and surrounding recreational areas, with the first plant becoming operational in 2002.
• Negotiations with Wuling Farm facilitated its transition toward eco-tourism, reducing agricultural activities and reclaiming farmland for reforestation.
• In collaboration with the Forestry Bureau, 500,000 native trees were planted along the Qijiawan River and on reclaimed farmland to restore the riparian ecosystem.
• In December 2006, the final 8.1 hectares of private land in the Wuling area were acquired, ensuring the Qijiawan River habitat remains free from pollution caused by high-altitude agriculture.

• The conservation initiatives launched in the 1980s ultimately faced setbacks, with efforts declared unsuccessful in the 1990s. Key challenges identified included the absence of deep pools and typhoon shelters in high-altitude streams, along with disrupted habitat connectivity caused by silt traps.
• Between 1999 and 2001, four silt traps on Gaoshan Creek, a tributary of Qijiawan River, were gradually removed or improved, leading to the observation of natural spawning by juvenile salmon.
• In 2010, an assessment revealed that the No. 1 silt trap at the lowest part of Qijiawan River was a critical bottleneck, and it was removed in 2011.
