The Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall, a popular attraction for Taipei tourists, fails to meet green building biodiversity standards. Because its decorative lawn flanked by rows of manicured trees hinders symbiosis between insects and the soil, birds don't perch on the trees. Too many gardeners are required to trim the trees, water is wasted, and pollution prevents living organisms from thriving and surviving in this environment.
台北市遊人如織的中正紀念堂，則被點名為不符合綠建築「生物多樣性」指標，廣場大面積地毯式的草坪，旁邊再站上一排修剪整齊的標兵樹木，使得草皮不能與其他昆蟲共生，樹木則無法讓鳥兒棲息，還要耗費大量人力定期修剪，既耗水、污染，又扼殺生物的存活和繁衍。
