Global changes are international concern topics, especially the impacts of global warming on organisms and ecosystems. The government of Taiwan has paid much attention to the climatic changes, but the relevant researches and monitoring programs still wanted. Because alpine animals and plants in low latitudes are excellent indicator species to climatic changes. In this project we select hynobiid salamanders as the indicator animal for long-term monitoring, they distributed only in the range of alpine national park of Taiwan. A sophisticated monitoring program can’t be done only by academic institutes, so we hope to train more volunteers to involve in the related monitoring programs. First, we survey the locations where salamanders distributing around Yushan areas. Then we hold the salamander monitoring workshop. After the preliminary survey, Yuanfeng and Shenmu Trail were the two localities with higher salamander density. These two localities both are suitable for long-term monitoring. The latter was chosen as the field survey site of the workshop. The workshop was held on 10 - 11 of November of 2008 at Lulin Villa. The courses included “Introduction to hynobiid salamander”, “Study history and current status of hynobiid salamander”, “Global warming and its impacts on biodiversity”, “Standard technique for monitoring salamanders”, and “Field survey”. Attendants are conservation personnel from three alpine national parks. We suggest that salamander populations of Yuanfeng and Shenmu Trail are good localities for a pioneer long-term monitoring. More volunteers should involve in this program.
