Kinmen’s peafowl pose a threat to wildlife, farmers
ECONOMIC CROSSROADS: Promoting tourism around the invasive species might be worthwhile if gains are forecast to offset losses in other sectors, experts say
By Kayleigh Madjar / Staff writer, with CNA
Although Kinmen’s peafowl population poses an “interesting” potential for tourism, the Kinmen County Government on Friday said that it would prioritize trying to eradicate the invasive species, as they are increasingly threatening native species and agriculture.
First brought to the outlying islands for a zoo, the peafowl were moved to the county’s Livestock Research Institute after the establishment of Kinmen National Park in 1995.
