(CNA, Taipei, May 19, by reporter Kao Hua-chien) The National Park Service (NPS) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Tzu Chi Charity Foundation today, with both parties set to deepen cooperation in five major areas, including international marketing & sustainability communication, and ecological conservation & sustainable experiences. The Ministry of the Interior's National Park Service stated in a press release that it officially signed the "Sustainable Mission to Guard Mountains and Seas, Walking Together in Great Love and Sustainability" MOU with the Buddhist Compassion Relief Tzu Chi Foundation today. NPS Director-General Wang Cheng-chi said that in the face of severe global challenges of climate change and biodiversity loss, Taiwan continues to enhance governance in the conservation of its national parks, wetlands, and coasts, and actively aligns with international sustainable development trends. Tzu Chi has long been deeply involved in environmental resilience, environmental education, and humanitarian care, possessing profound international influence and capacity for action. The high degree of alignment in their philosophies makes this collaboration a significant milestone for the cross-sector integration of sustainable governance in national parks. The NPS pointed out that it will begin diverse exchanges and cooperation with Tzu Chi from 2025, gradually building a foundation for collaboration that led to this formal MOU signing. In the future, the two parties will deepen cooperation in five main areas: international marketing and sustainability communication, ecological conservation and sustainable experiences, public education and environmental learning, mountain sustainability and health promotion, and knowledge exchange and policy development. The NPS added that Tzu Chi's "mobile environmental education vehicle" will also support various large-scale events and environmental education needs of the NPS. Through this mobile exhibition, it will promote resource recycling, low-carbon living, and disaster prevention education, overcoming geographical limitations to bring the concept of sustainability to more communities and remote areas, thereby expanding social impact.
