Yushan National Park possesses rich wildlife, which means visitors may come across Formosan black bears and other wild animals along the trail or road in the vicinity. Citizen scientists and voluntary workers are also invited to participate in the field study and analysis of research data.ĭriving at a Slow Speed to Ensure Your Safety and the Safety of Wildlife The research team has monitored the activity of black bears as well as other mammals in the area via an infrared trail camera. It is probably because they need to put on weight to prepare for winter. Black bears don’t hibernate and become more active during the fall and winter, especially at night. The study indicates that black bears are most active during the early morning and late evening hours though they are normally considered diurnal animals. Yushan National Park has been proven to be the only habitat where the number of black bears has grown and the habitat area has expanded. It was discovered that the area of bear activity is more than 200 km² – more than half of the bears are active beyond the area of the Park. The Headquarters has commissioned Professor Huang, Mei-Hsiu and her research team at the National Pingtung University of Science and Technology to analyze the bear activity in the designated areas, the patterns of such activity and the use of habitats through the satellite tracking system. All of these contribute to a favorable living environment for black bears. The Park also provides crucial living conditions for the bears because of its vast territory, intact habitats, and diverse ecology. Yushan National Park serves as the core habitat for Formosan black bears, with sleuths of bears totaling 250 to 300. For the last 25 years, the Yushan National Park (the Headquarters) has been endeavoring to promote the study and protection of black bears.
