road opened up 1-4 in the season to replace habitat
Black-faced Spoonbill roads vehicular traffic control,
the case should be 1-1 Wetland Park Road, Lunan change,
the use of wetland conservation plan in the review

road in order to start 1-4, then wetlands law has been
implemented, will inevitably produce more controversy.
Retaining green eggplant can appeal to the Kaohsiung
City Government to look at the pattern of higher '1-4
road Jiading and local sustainable development "issues.
