Study on the Integration of Conservation Measures for Chinese White Dolphin (Sousa chinensis) in Taiwan

Following the global warming and climate change in the last twenty years, one of key
actions on maintaining biodiversity is to save critical endangered species with aspect of
intergrated management. Our study aims to explore integrated mechanism inside the case of
Chinese White Dolphin conservation in Taiwan throught a qualitative research approach. The
integrated mechanism was also understood under a concept of social-ecological system and
analysed with a framework that was modified mitigation-adaptation model used to apply on
climate change study. The capacity of management measures including of mitigation and
adaptation was explored on three levels, i.e. animals, habitat, and society. Differences of the
capacity in these three levels were compared between the cases in Taiwan and Hong Kong.
The study also tried to point out possible responders who should conduct these conservation
measures from a questionnaire survey. The statistical analysis revealed none of top measures
must be under the responsibility of government in these three levels. The analysis showed
that there is no correlation between the implementation of measures and the governmental
responsibility. In addition, the top-six measures were mainly in the marine environment level
and four of the measures had been implemented. In the analysis about governmental
responsibility top-seven measures, should be under the responsibility of developers, instead
of the government. Some suggestions were given at the end for integrated management of
Chinese White Dolphin conservation in Taiwan.
