Even today Taiwan continues to attract a steady stream of Western scholars to carry out nature research. For instance, Japanese researchers come in search of bats, and British and US biologists come to survey insect life. Many taxonomists love Taiwan because of the great diversity of species to be found on this small island.
持續著過去的歷史，今天台灣仍不斷吸引許多國外學者來進行自然探索，比如日本學者來找尋蝙蝠；英、美學者來進行昆蟲相調查；許多分類學家喜歡台灣，因為小小的島嶼上，可以見到很多樣的生命現象。
