Central News Agency (CNA reporter Kuan Jui-ping Miaoli County July 1) To celebrate its 34th anniversary, the Shei-Pa National Park Headquarters is holding a special exhibition titled "Bat Gathering," focusing on the park's precious bat resources. The exhibition opened today at the Wenshui Visitor Center.

The "Shei-Pa Bat Gathering" exhibition is the result of years of research by Chen Chia-hung, a technician at the Shei-Pa National Park Headquarters. He pointed out that many people have negative stereotypes about bats, but they are actually important guardians of forests and agriculture. For example, insectivorous bats can prey on large numbers of insects, helping to control agricultural pests, and some bats also undertake ecological services such as pollination and seed dispersal, possessing irreplaceable value in maintaining ecosystem balance. The "Shei-Pa Bat Gathering" exhibition will be permanently displayed on the second floor of the Shei-Pa National Park Wenshui Visitor Center starting today.
