Sustainable Development Goals
Abstract/Objectives
Through the course, we hope to raise students' awareness of animal rights issues and explore the rights of animal survival and the environment. The zoo is the easiest place for the general public to get in touch with animal issues other than pets. In this course, in addition to learning about animal-related knowledge, we will also work with the zoo to create animal enrichment facilities, not only to develop practical skills, but also to observe and improve the living environment of animals in the zoo. The course will also include visits to the zoo and appointments with the zoo director, in the hope that students will gain a better understanding of the Hsinchu Zoo and accumulate more experience and skills. In the future, we may cooperate with Liufu Village or Green World to visit the zoological park. Through in-depth visits, students will be able to improve their knowledge of animals, understand the principles of spatial planning, the impact on animals, and the difficulties of planning.

We have been working with the Hsinchu Zoo for years, with the main focus on animal behavior enrichment, hoping to enhance the well-being of the animals in the zoo through practical work. Before the production, we would actually visit the Hsinchu Zoo to see the inside and outside of the zoo, and even the veterinarian's office. This visit not only increased our animal awareness, but also gave us the concept of designing the facilities, i.e. what to pay attention to.

We made a food pyramid for raccoons, a hammock, and an enriched feeding apparatus for the Ilan antelope to bring new facilities to the Hsinchu Zoo, but due to the epidemic, the course was cancelled this year before it could be exhibited.

In the past, we have worked with Leofoo Village Theme Park to create facilities for the Theme Park, and the park set up the finished facilities in front of us! We have a great sense of accomplishment. In the future, we will continue to work with Hsinchu Zoo, Leofoo Village Theme Park, and Green World ecological farm.
