Cheng Hsi-chi, an assistant researcher at TESRI, explains that TESRI has recorded a new species, the alpine whiskered bat, in the Juiyuan Nature Preserve of Taichung. The discovery is certainly closely linked to the Taiwan Forest Bureau declaring the area a protected zone and restricting access.
台灣省特有生物中心助理研究員鄭錫奇也表示，特有生物中心能在台中瑞源保護區發現新記錄種蝙蝠「高山鼠耳蝠」與「寬耳蝠」，和林務局將當地劃為保護區、限制遊客進入，仍保持一定隱密度有關。
