Saving precious endemic species Taiwan is located along the migration paths of many bird species, and flocks of birds come and go, bringing the seeds of water plants from many countries. Consequently, Taiwan has many of the water plants found in Siberia, northeastern China, Japan, and the Philippines. In comparison, the small number of species endemic to Taiwan are rarer and even more precious.
搶救珍稀特有種位於候鳥遷移線上的台灣，鳥群來來去去，將水生植物種子帶往遷移線上的各個國家，因此台灣與西伯利亞、大陸東北、日本、菲律賓等都有非常相似的水生族群，相形之下，少數「特有種」就更顯得稀有且珍貴了。
