Genetic Diversity Conservation Center
National Chiayi University, founded with a strong focus on agriculture, has long emphasized plant conservation, animal conservation, agricultural genetic resources, and the establishment of reserves for endangered species through its College of Agriculture and College of Life Sciences. These efforts are supported by continuous long-term projects. For example, the Department of Horticulture manages the Orchid Arts and Research Center, which has preserved Taiwan’s national treasure orchid germplasm for more than 80 years.

Such long-term conservation projects account for approximately 22% of all sustainability-related programs at NCYU. Below is a classification and introduction to the university’s long-term conservation initiatives:
