INTORDUCTION
Biodiversity (a contraction of biological diversity) is one of Taiwanese attempt to capture the complexity of life, and is so doing to further an understanding it and of its maintenance. In order to protect the essential biodiversity resources, there are 6 national parks , of which were successively set up since 1982. YuShan National Park (YSNP)– a mountainous and watershed park—has 105,490 hectares, which is the largest national park in terms of its area.
Mt. Yushan (3954 m)
National Parks in Taiwan and YuShan National Park
Mt. YuShan
Mt. YuShan , a 3952 meters high in YSNP, is the highest mountain in the Northeastern Asia. Because plenty of ecological and genetic diversity in YSNP, which are the basic building blocks of biodiversity. In order to understand the effect of facilities to be built the past years, on the biodiversity maintaining, we intend to investigate the adaptation of current facilities as references for the new construction proposal.

Loss of Biodiversity (Crisis)
The richness of biodiversity in YSNP is very high.
Unfortunately, the increased number of tourists visiting YSNP has brought damage to the ecological conservation, i.e. the gradual extinction of Formosan Black Bear and Mikado Pheasant, to some extents. The present and projected losses of biodiversity have been called a “crisis”..
Biodiversity Crisis
Various Biodiversity Facilities in Yushan National Park
We take arguably the “Evaluation of the effect of varying biodiversity facilities (i.e., forest trails, accommodations, pavilions, facilities in rest area and view platforms) which had built in YSNP for the past years on maintaining the biodiversity ”.
Facilities must Meet the Requirements of Ecological conservation
We look forward to give the officers of YSNP some suggestive advice to prepare advisable budget, by which can best meet the requirements of ecological conservation and as reference for the future biodiversity facilities establishment from 2004 to 2007.
