The Xingfu wetland is culturally significant to local residents, as it was once a site for fishing, hunting, grazing, and a ritual site for the indigenous Amis, which makes its protection even more important. Aphyocypris kikuchii has been successfully bred, with 500 individuals now present. Through environmental education initiatives and invasive species elimination events organized by the association during the annual Amis rituals, up to 60 kg of aquatic alien species have been successfully eliminated each year. The Association is also exploring various uses for alien plant species, including food, clothing, education, and entertainment. They also invite local elders to be trained as tour guides and develop eco-tourism activities. About 500 tourists participate in the environmental education tours each year.

As the wetland area is a highly popular tourist destination, the Association not only works to protect the wetland but also aims to educate local residents on how to identify invasive alien species by the means of Citizen Science Systematic Roadkill Surveys. The association is devoted to conserving native plants and animals, while also working to promote a harmonious relationship with nature and reviving Chishang Township's culture as a land of fish and rice.
