近年來國內陸續出現諸多外來種植物,其強勢蔓延已嚴重影響原生態的物種多樣性,其中以小花蔓澤蘭危害最甚,現已蔓延全台,目前仍必須仰賴人工定期拔除,需不斷投入大量人力與時間。本企劃為宣導民眾參與拔除,配合循環商品DIY體驗,佐以影片、教案、手冊、社群來策動民眾持續參與活動,共同維護生態。主視覺透過「換位思考」的概念,將遭受蔓延而枯萎的森林生態,投射至人類居住都市,傳達不積極介入拔除,亦將深受其害。本組目前已實際辦理多場拔除及DIY推廣教育活動,將拔除之小花蔓澤蘭粹取汁液製成小黑蚊防蚊液,應用於小蔓怪防蚊磚、擴香石,也製成手抄紙,以感溫墨版印成互動宣傳卡,除讓民眾積極持續參與拔除活動,也兼具教育意義。
We start to see plenty of alien species in recent years here in Taiwan. The invasion has placed a negative impact on the native ecosystem services. With all the alien species, the mikania micrantha causes the biggest threat to the environment. To remove it, we have to manually pull each plant. The project is to get people involved in removing the mikania micrantha by conducting a circular design DIY activity, and utilizing videos, teaching plans, and the social media. So far, our team has launched such event many times. We’ve made repellent bars, aroma stones, and paper with the mikania micrantha because the plant is a natural repellent to keep Forcipomyia taiwanas away. We also create some interactive handouts by using the temperature sensitive ink. We hope that this project would bring people together participating in pulling the weeds. Also, it would be educational at the same time.
