(6) Kinmen National Park
Kinmen National Park is located in Kinmen County and has the objectives of preserving battle

commemorative historical sites and cultural and natural resources in the protected area and pro-
vides places for research into the history, culture, nature, and ecology and opportunities for eco-
tourism, environmental education, and other recreation.

Under the effect of COVID-19 in 2021, Kinmen National Park Headquarters continued to strive

for short-term employment personnel under the "Go to Work Without Worry" Immediate Work
Plan. At the same time, we provided guidance and rental subsidy to operators of homestays and
shops leased from the Headquarters, not only helping provide residents with substantive econom-

ic help but also reassuring the people, benefitting local partnership relations.

In terms of conservation research, the "Study of the development of prehistoric culture in the
Kinmen area and the formation and expansion of Austronesian Peoples" and "Study of Amphibi-
ans in Kinmen National Park" were completed. Environmental education activities were held phys-

ically or online on a rolling basis according to the pandemic situation, such as the physical "2021
Kinmen Tunnel Music Festival" and the
online "Kinmen Traditional Settlements and
Architecture Online Lecture" to continue to
promote environmental education.

In terms of environmental maintenance,
the checking and announcement of barri-
er-free facilities of Guningtou Battle Museum

were completed, and the Ocean Taiwan-Sea- Beach cleaning activity held by Kinmen National Park
Headquarters and the local community
shore Overall Cleanliness Maintenance Plan
continued to be implemented. As well as
carrying out horizontal cooperation with the

units with jurisdiction over coastal land in the
park area, we held beach cleaning activities
together with the local community to ensure
the cleanliness of the coast in our area of

jurisdiction. In 2021, a total of 264 tons of
seashore trash were removed. 2021 Kinmen Tunnel Music Festival
