Abstract
Climate change and global warming have had a significant impact on biodiversity. They alter the distribution, abundance, breeding patterns, and migration of species, while also causing severe harm to habitats. Conversely, biodiversity is crucial to human survival and national development, given its influence on food, medicine, soil, water, and other resources. Therefore, maintaining biodiversity under the pressures of climate change and global warming has become a pressing global issue. Traditional species conservation methods have proven insufficient in this context, making “adaptive species management” a more viable alternative. This paper argues that the strategy of “assisted migration” can overcome the perceived binary opposition between “human” and “nature” while advancing the goal of climate resilience. By examining the case of Taiwan, this study reviews existing research on assisted migration and proposes a regulatory framework aimed at reducing associated risks.
