INFORMATION AND SUGGESTIONS REGARDING AN AGREEMENT FOR

INSECT COLLECTING ACTIVITIES IN TAIWAN

The purpose of this agreement is to facilitate collecting activities during your visit in Taiwan so that you are in conformity with the regulations of the Taiwanese

Government. The agreement encourages interactions with local scientists and assists Taiwan in obtaining a better long term understanding of its biota. Conditions of the

agreement are consistent with the regulations of most governments worldwide. Collectors who do not adhere to the agreed upon conditions will not be welcome to return to the

country and will have their names published in the newsletter of the Taiwan Entomological Society as persona non granta.

Well in advance of your trip, please contact a Taiwanese institution that will serve as a co-signer for the collecting agreement. In order for them to know your qualifications,

you are encouraged to send reprints and a brief curriculum vitae. The co-signer institution may help you apply for the necessary permit(s). If you plan to collect in National Parks

or other restricted areas, additional permit(s) must be obtained. Extra time and paperwork are needed, so plan your schedule accordingly.

You are encouraged to involve local students (undergraduate or graduate) in your project whenever possible.
