Hsia Jung-sheng, chief of the Forestry Bureau's Conservation Division, states that before such regulations can be finalized it is necessary to collect basic data, including the distribution and population of the mountain hawk-eagle, and whether the numbers being hunted are affecting their overall survival. Then an overall assessment must be made taking account of such perspectives as cultural needs and the need to ensure a minimum rate of reproduction.
林務局保育組科長夏榮生表示，在規範尚未定案之前，須建立相關基本資料，包括熊鷹的分佈、族群數量，及目前捕獲量是否影響族群生存等，再從文化需求、保障最低繁衍量等角度作整體評估。
