In order to understand the hunting status and needs of the indigens in the southern area of Yushan National Park, evaluate the feasibility of hunting management between local communities and Yushan National Park headquarters, and establish an adaptive co-management cooperation model. This study continues the previous plan in Taoyuan District, Kaohsiung City, and conducts wildlife monitoring in Meishan, Lavulan, and Fuxing communities, and establishes a basic database We collected and analyzed the monitoring data from February 2021 to June 2023. Through camera traps and field observations, a total of 73 species were identified, including 22 mammals, 34 birds and 1 reptile. Both routes have photographed Formosan black bears, and the number has increased from 2 in 2021 to at least 10 in the first quarter of 2023, including at least 5 cubs. In addition, in-depth interviews and focus group discussions are used to understand the needs and management status of hunting fields of various families, and local organizations are established as a communication platform through participatory action research to help them form partnerships with national parks for co-management of natural resources. After interviewing 14 important local leaders, 4 planning briefing sessions, 4 association meetings and nearly 60 local residents, we held the inaugural meeting on September 12, 2022 in accordance with the provisions of the Law on People's Organizations. The "Nanheng Traditional Field Natural Resources and Cultural Self-Government Association" was established as a window for cooperation with Yushan National Park. The goads of this local organization is mainly for local economic development, cultural inheritance and natural resource management, and the establishment of industrial development, education promotion, resource management and other groups approved by the cadre meeting. On April 1, 2023, the second membership meeting was held, and the hunting autonomy and self-discipline convention was passed. At the same time, the cultural event "Bunun Cultural -Love from generation to generation” was held. Three types of hunting are expected to be planned. The first type of hunting is forest damage control. Field investigation found that serious damage is mainly concentrated in ecological protection areas, and the plan has not been implemented because it exceeds the scope of open hunting areas. The second type of hunting is outside the national park area and the association has agreed to reserve the 110th, 111th and 110th forest compartments of the Laonong River working circle as conservation areas, and it is expected to apply for legal use according to law after the new version of the Aboriginal Hunting Management Measures is announced and implemented in 2023. The final category is ancestral hunting in national parks. At present, the specific hunting scope, hunting qualifications, hunting species and the number of tools has been proposed, which can be used as a reference for the planning of government implementation methods. In addition, in order to strengthen the partnership between the local association and the National Park Headquarter in the co-management of natural resources, we assist the association to carry out cultural activities and training courses with other institutions or organizations, and participate in the Formosan black bear PES plan.
