Sadly, after Taiwan reverted from Japanese to Chinese rule, although the exploitation of wildlife grew and grew, efforts to accumulate knowledge about these resources were limited by comparison, and even today ecological surveys must rely heavily on reports inherited from the Japanese era.
可惜台灣在光復後，對野生動物的利用有增無減，對資源應有的知識累積卻相對投入有限，至今生態調查仍須借重日據時代留下的報告。
