But over recent years, in the pursuit of economic growth, Taiwan has heavily exploited its natural resources. For example, coastal land reclamation and the development of new industrial zones have destroyed valuable wetlands, and when the wetlands are lost the birds 'paradise is lost with them.
但近年來，台灣為了追求經濟再成長，不斷地大幅利用自然資源，如填海造陸創造海埔新生地、開發新的工業區，當珍貴的濕地消失後，候鳥的樂園也就不見了。
