GeoPackage (QGIS Project File) for 26 Centrally Managed River Basins

This dataset package includes the GeoPackage and accompanying documentation for the 26 river basins under central government jurisdiction. The ecological intelligence mapping content includes the following layers:

1. Species Distribution – Actual Observed Points

  • Presented in 1 km × 1 km grids
  • Covers 9 major biological groups with sufficient data:
    • Fish, Crustaceans (shrimp/crab), Insects, Amphibians, Reptiles, Mammals, Gastropods/Bivalves, Plants, and Birds

2. Species Distribution – Predictive Modeling

  • Also presented in 1 km × 1 km grids
  • Covers the same 9 biological groups as above, based on species distribution modeling results

3. Ecological Environment Layers

Includes key ecological zoning and environmentally sensitive areas:

(1) Legally Designated Ecologically Sensitive Areas

  • National Parks
  • Nature Reserves
  • Wildlife Refuges
  • Critical Wildlife Habitats
  • Protected Natural Areas
  • Coastal Conservation Areas
  • Nationally Important Wetlands

(2) Key Habitats of Concern

  • Taiwan Green Network designated concern zones
  • Identified aquatic ecological hotspots
  • Biodiversity hotspots
  • Important bird habitats
  • High ecological naturalness zones

(3) Areas of High Academic or Civil Interest

  • Potential distributions of 379 terrestrial vertebrate species
  • Critical habitats for Red List-threatened plant species
  • Notable areas like the Papaya Creek watershed

4. Other Special Issues

  • Special thematic layers for particular river basins, showing local ecological or conservation concerns

5. Base Maps

  • Central government river jurisdiction boundaries
  • River buffer zones (grid format)
  • Watershed extents
  • County/city boundaries
  • Orthophotos (standard format)
