Green World Ecological Farm (Chinese: 綠世界生態農場; pinyin: Lǜ Shìjiè Shēngtài Nóngchǎng) is a theme park in Beipu Township, Hsinchu County, Taiwan that focuses on ecological education.[1]
Covering 70 hectares (170 acres), the park includes an educational farm, a house, a zoo, and a botanical garden that occupies about 173 acres (70 ha) and hosts over 2,000 species of plants and animals. Green World is divided into six themed areas: Discovery Land, Bird Ecological Park, Butterfly Ecological Park, Water Plants Park, Biodiversity Adventure Area, and the Swan Lake Area. Around 800,000 visitors are estimated to visit the park every year.[citation needed]
The park claims to preserve most of the site's original landscapes and habitats and to have been built according to ecological engineering methods.[2]
Although the name suggests that Green World is an ecological farm, it does not strictly follow the definition of ecological farming or produce any type of food. The park also serves as an accredited animal sanctuary for wounded or abandoned animals.
