RESEARCH ABSTRACT: We have studied much unique conservation of ecological species and plants in Taiwan. Starting from abundant taro cultivation in central Taiwan, we showcase taro fields and leopard cats in Dajia region, azalea and Mikado pheasants on Jade Mountain, Tung blossoms and owls in Miaoli, pot marigolds and endangered Oncorhynchus Formosanus, Formosan black bears and maple leaves on Central Mountain Ridge, fireflies and ferns, as well as butterflies and biodiversity in Kaohsiung. Inspired by seven distinctive animal and plant combinations, we integrate conservation into our packaging designs to deliver ecosystem knowledge and diversity from Taiwan to the world.
CHALLENGE: Our challenge is to find out the connection between local brands and Taiwanese culture and to integrate conservation ideas into packaging designs. Eventually, we use the brand's publicity and brand power to promote conservation issues and enhance people's awareness of environmental protection.
