iNaturalist Taiwan is the newest member of the iNaturalist Network! iNaturalistTW is a collaboration with the National Chiayi University and Taiwan Forestry Research Institute.

《愛自然·臺灣》(iNaturalist Taiwan) 是 iNaturalist 國際網路的最新成員！《愛自然·臺灣》是由國立嘉義大學與行政院農業委員會林業試驗所共同協作維運的。

Taiwan is located in the transition zone between tropical and subtropical regions of Asia. A total of 70% of the land area is covered by mountains in Taiwan, while 60% of the terrestrial area is covered by forests. Therefore, complex mountainous topography and humid climate affected by Asian monsoon cause rich habitats and high biodiversity. The logo for iNaturalist Taiwan is the Taiwan lily (Lilium formosanum A.Wallace), which is widely distributed from the seacoast to the mountain summit over 3,000 m. The Taiwan lily was chosen as the logo because the scientific name “formosanum” is from the Formosa (The first time Portuguese sailors saw Taiwan and said “Ilha formosa”, which means “a beautiful island”). It can be representative of Taiwan people’s resilience and solidarity. Some indigenous tribes, such as western Rukai people, believe that the Taiwan lily is a symbol of purity in their culture.

臺灣位於亞洲熱帶和副熱帶交界，其中大約有 70% 的土地是山地地形，而 60% 的陸域面積是由森林所覆蓋。複雜的山地地形和亞洲季風系統所帶來的潮溼氣候讓臺灣有豐富的棲地環境和極高的生物多樣性。《愛自然·臺灣》的標誌是臺灣百合(Lilium formosanum)，其廣泛分布從海邊到3000公尺高山上。我們選擇作為臺灣的代表標誌是因其學名 formosanum 是由臺灣的古名福爾摩沙(Formosa，葡萄牙水手第一次看到臺灣後，稱呼臺灣為「美麗之島(Ihla formosa!)」)而來，而臺灣百合也可以代表台灣人的堅韌與團結。有些原住民如魯凱族貴族的花飾文化視臺灣百合為純潔的象徵。
