3 Facts show Geoparks of Taiwan can help on World Cleanup Day 世界清潔日 臺灣地質公園動起來

In the spirit of celebrating World Cleanup Day, we asked around our friend about their experience of cleanup movements. Gratefully, our friends in geoparks replied with a strong sense of familiarity. Here are the astonishing findings that show the Geoparks of Taiwan can help to protect the environment:

1.The cleanup movements regularly held around the year. Seven out of ten geoparks in Taiwan has seen more than one clean-up activity this year. In Penghu, there are countless clean-up activities hosted every year by the different organisations and local communities. We asked our friends in Penghu Marine geopark, on the top of their head, there are at least six clean-up events hosted since June, which can be found on national press and the website of the local government. Most impressively, in Longmen village, the Chief of Village lead local elders to clean their beach in the past two years and provide the Penghu County to celebrate the kite festival with their beach.

2.A high level of community involvement has been seen in the clean-up movements within geoparks in Taiwan.
In Matsu Geopark, eight local communities separately organized cleanup activities, which have been participated by 330 local people since June.
People who live in Hudong village in Penghu Marine geopark also committed to their environment. They regularly cleaned their beach on the third Saturday of each month.

3.The cleanup movements are systematic, generally supported by local government or Tourism Bureau, and recorded as ICC (International Coastal Cleanup) suggested. Geoparks in Taiwan frequently saw local communities cooperating with associated organizations to maintain the landscape around their home.
With the collaborative effort, the local community in East Coast Geopark has organized three cleanup events in the past three months and clear 1000-meter length of the coastline in total.
Additionally, with the support of the Tourism Bureau, local communities in Matsu Geopark not only successfully create the first geopark in Taiwan, but they also conducted eight large cleanup events from June to September 2020. They gathered 330 people and collected 6,150 kg of trash from eight coastal areas.

前幾天，我們好奇的與臺灣地質公園網絡上的朋友們聊到世界地質公園網絡（GGN）將要慶祝世界清潔日（World Cleanup Day），沒想到地質公園的朋友提到淨灘都像在描述打掃自己家院子那般稀鬆平常！以下分享臺灣地質公園夥伴們淨灘的共同經驗：

一問之下有7個地質公園辦過，而且很常辦！澎湖淨灘的活動多到比遊客還難計算，各單位都常辦。5月底至9月至少半了6場。長久下來，例如：澎湖海洋地質公園龍門的洪村長，這兩年來帶著千歲團（一些老人家）把整個龍門的海岸弄得非常的漂亮，和大東山將那些海廢，做了很多文創作品。9月因此有了在乾淨的沙灘舉辦國際風箏節。

2.

社區參與度很高！
澎湖海洋地質公園湖東村的鄉親則每個月第三個週六會固定淨灘；
馬祖地質公園大大小小的社區發展協會，自六月以來，也辦了八場淨灘活動，共有330人參加。

3.

在推動地質公園的社區中，淨灘的活動常常受到有關團體和政府單位支持，有良好的組織，並如ICC建議的留下紀錄。

臺東利吉惡地地質公園的社區常會配合環保局以社區為單位參與淨灘淨溪，也會自行組織辦理。
臺東富崗部分除參與環保局活動外，也會和交通部觀光局東部海岸國家風景區管理處一起辦類似活動。

馬祖地質公園各社區則配合觀光局向海致敬政策，非常有系統的追蹤淨灘成果。

從目前已搜集到的統計資料，東海岸富岡社區發展協會已清理了1公里的海岸，馬祖地質公園社區發起的淨灘活動則已蒐集到6,150 kg的垃圾！

另外，

和平島公園也跟Lets do it Taiwan分會也在世界清淨日舉辦日出淨灘活動：

野柳地質公園也有舉辦過淨灘活動，更不用說不管多少遊客都乾淨溜溜的園區了！
