Taoyuan is launching Taiwan's first multi-agency plan to control light pollution and is seeking international certification for a dark-sky reserve.
The city's Environmental Protection Department says light pollution is a major environmental problem that harms human health and disrupts ecosystems.
So the city is establishing a framework, with the department coordinating policy while other agencies manage specific aspects, such as regulating light pollution sources
And Taoyuan is also partnering with its tourism and scenic area management offices, to apply for certification from DarkSky International for the Lala Mountain area.
Officials say Lala Mountain with its unique cloud forest ecology, would become an international destination for stargazing, and would promote a new low-carbon tourism model centered on ecological experiences.
