Because of a rising demand for leisure activities in Taiwan, in recent years not only have a number of government- and privately-run aquariums been established, but zoos have continually endeavored to offer fresh new exhibits to pique the curiosity of potential visitors. In each case, this has been done under the rubric of "ecological education."
台灣由於休閒遊憩的需求，近年來不僅公、私立海洋館陸續設置，動物園也推陳出新，引進外來動物滿足遊客好奇心，每次也都以「生態教育」為名。
