Taiwan Wild Bird Federation

Taiwan Wild Bird Federation is a science topic covered in the lgStudy science library. This page brings together a partial reference excerpt, illustrations, worked examples, real-world applications and a short study plan, so you can understand Taiwan Wild Bird Federation rather than just read about it. In short: The Taiwan Wild Bird Federation (Chinese: 中華民國野鳥學會; pinyin: Zhōnghuá mínguó yěniǎo xuéhuì) or TWBF is Taiwan's largest bird conservation organization and represents 21 groups throughout Taiwan and its outlying islands. The official TWBF bird as well as the bird depicted on the logo is the Mikado pheasant, a species endemic to the mountainous regions of Taiwan.

Key takeaways

Taiwan Wild Bird Federation belongs to science; place it in that map before memorising details.
Learn the definition first, then one example that makes the definition concrete.
Connect Taiwan Wild Bird Federation to a quantity you can measure, compute or draw — that is where exam questions come from.
Reproduce the core statement of Taiwan Wild Bird Federation from memory before moving on to harder problems.

Reference excerpt

The Taiwan Wild Bird Federation (Chinese: 中華民國野鳥學會; pinyin: Zhōnghuá mínguó yěniǎo xuéhuì) or TWBF is Taiwan's largest bird conservation organization and represents 21 groups throughout Taiwan and its outlying islands. The official TWBF bird as well as the bird depicted on the logo is the Mikado pheasant, a species endemic to the mountainous regions of Taiwan.

History 1988: Wild Bird Society of the Republic of China was established in Taiwan by a group of wild bird enthusiasts. 1994: became a Partner Designate of BirdLife International. 1996: became an Official Partner of BirdLife International. 2001: the English name was renamed to Wild Bird Federation Taiwan. 2008: the English name was renamed to Chinese Wild Bird Federation due to repeated pressure from People's Republic of China to BirdLife International 2020: on 7 September 2020 CWBF was voted out of BirdLife International due to pressure from People's Republic of China. The English name was subsequently renamed to Taiwan Wild Bird Federation on 19 September 2020 "to avoid international confusion and allow us to expand ties with other groups in promoting the important work of global conservation."

Mission The purpose of TWBF is to protect wild birds and its natural habitats through appreciation, research and conservation.

Programs TWBF conducts bird population surveys and migration research in conjunction with local and international organizations.

Checklist of the Birds of Taiwan (Chinese: 台灣鳥類名錄), updated every three years. The publication is the most comprehensive checklist of birds found in Taiwan and covers all land areas under Taiwan's administration, including outlying islands. Black-faced Spoonbill Global Census (Chinese: 黑面琵鷺全球同步普查) is a simultaneous survey of black-faced spoonbill's wintering population initiated by the Hong Kong Bird Watching Society in coordination with bird societies in the region including South Korea, Japan, China, Macau, Thailand, Cambodia, and Taiwan. Taiwan Bird Banding Program (Chinese: 野鳥繫放腳環管理) is administered by TWBF and provides management and support of bird ringing in Taiwan for academia and citizen research groups. TWBF organizes several citizen science projects including the following.

Taiwan New Year Bird Count (Chinese: 臺灣新年數鳥嘉年華), an annual community bird count to record wintering birds in Taiwan and its outlying islands. eBird Taiwan, administered jointly by TWBF and Taiwan's Biodiversity Research Institute. The group publishes Feather, a quarterly bilingual online magazine on bird-related issues.

Organization TWBF is composed of 18 local bird associations and 3 ecology conservation groups.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Taiwan Wild Bird Federation

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Taiwan Wild Bird Federation claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Taiwan Wild Bird Federation before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Taiwan Wild Bird Federation ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Taiwan Wild Bird Federation

In research: Taiwan Wild Bird Federation appears in science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Taiwan Wild Bird Federation in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Taiwan Wild Bird Federation is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Bird conservation organizations, Environmental organizations established in 1988, Ornithological organizations, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Taiwan Wild Bird Federation outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
