The construction of tourist facilities and trails showcasing the scenic coast of Chihsingtan has caused a significant area loss of its protective forest. In response, the Chihsingtan Community Development Association has taken a series of measures to ecologically restore the forest, bolster its climate resilience, and raise awareness. A dedicated patrol team was established to combat the proliferation of the invasive plant Leucaena leucocephala. A portion of the plants were cut down, and their stumps were treated with a mixture of rock salt and water, then sealed with plastic bags. Next, fast-growing native trees, such as Calophyllum inophyllum and Pittosporum pentandrum, were introduced to encourage biodiversity through ecological succession. Additionally, the aging of Pandanus odorifer was addressed by planting new sprouts amidst the older trees, thereby enhancing soil fixation capability. Lastly, instructors have been engaged to educate the community about the significance of protection forests and the marine environment.
