#HehuanMountain has been certified by the International Dark-Sky Association (#IDA) and has become the first designated International Dark Sky Park in Taiwan. It’s the third in Asia, following hot on the heels of the Yeongyang Firefly Eco Park in Korea and the Iriomote–Ishigaki National Park in Japan.
The recognition was not easy to come by. The certification from the IDA states that the Hehuan Mountain Dark-Sky Park is “a model case of cooperation between the local civilian community and governmental entities.” Indeed, certification is the fruit of the collective efforts of stargazers, residents, business operators and the local government.
But efforts to preserve the beauty of the night sky must continue. As Liu Chih-an ( 技安的星空 (劉志安)), a hardcore fan of astronomy and the founder of the #台灣星空守護聯盟Taiwan Dark-Sky Preservation Alliance, puts it, we have to preserve it for future generations.
To see how this goal was achieved, see our report:

#合歡山國際暗空公園 正式通過 #國際暗天協會IDA認證‼
台灣合歡山繼 韓國永陽螢火蟲保護區、日本西表石垣國家公園，成為亞洲第3個國際暗空公園。
但守護星空的任務不會中止，正如 #台灣星空守護聯盟 創辦人劉志安所說的，我們要繼續「為孩子保留住這片美麗的星空！」
.
「國際暗空公園」的稱號得來不易🧐
這當中有著觀星人、居民和業者，以及政府一同努力，箇中滋味，都寫在光華的深度報導裡⬇
