    Indonesia (印尼)
  • Tegalan is a back garden in Java Island. It reflects SDGs 15 because of its high biodiversity due to the large number of plants growing there. There are plants such as fruit trees, vegetables, medicinal plants, herbs, and even livestock enclosures. Generally, Tegalan is in a rural area where rural communities in Indonesia have large tracts of land so they use the land to grow crops. The high biodiversity and cool countryside air attract birds to inhabit.

Second Prize 第二名

  • “Río Plátano”Biosphere (雷奧普拉塔諾生物圈)
  • Raquel Ayestas (菈葵娥)
    Senior, DTAIC (熱帶農業暨國際合作系大四生)
    Honduran (宏都拉斯)
  • The Río Plátano Biosphere is the largest protected area in the country where not only an abundance of biodiversity resides, but it also harbors archaeological and cultural values. Protecting this land is significant for the lives of over 2,000 indigenous people (“Miskito people”) who preserve their traditional way of living and homeland. This drawing reflects the abundance of life gifted by the riches of this land. The woman represents the “Miskito People”, the jaguar and the macaw represent the flora and fauna, and the river represents the entire watershed of the “Río Plátano”, which extends all the way from the mountains down to the coast.

Third Prize第三名

    Indonesia (印尼)
  • This painting was inspired by one of the very rare fishes in my birthplace, Indonesia. When I came to NPUST, one of my Taiwanese laboratory friends invited me to visit the PABP Aquaculture Showroom. I saw a lot of interesting fish species there and one of the most interesting things for me was Arowana fish because it reminded me of my home in Indonesia. The fish is very valuable. Arowana is almost extinct in Indonesia. This painting contains various aspects of SDGs such as life below water, life on land, humans with all their problems. This painting also reminds us that our world is in danger but we are often unaware of. Save our planet and love our earth!

  • During my childhood, I often saw egrets in the rice fields. People grow rice from the fields, and egrets also get food from the fields. As the industry develops, there are fewer and fewer opportunities to see this sight. Fortunately, people are getting to care more about ecology now. Every living thing is a part of the earth. We all get food from the land. It is our duty to eliminate hunger and protect the environment.

  • The“New Theory of Agriculture” suggested by King Bhumibol of Thailand (King Rama 9) under the Philosophy of Sufficiency Economy suits SDG 2. It aims at tackling the problem of water shortage and the use of limited land for cultivation to produce sufficient food for consumption, and, if possible, for sale. The land is divided into four parts with a ratio of 30:30:30:10. The first 30% is designated for a pond to store rainwater during the rainy season and to supply water to grow crops and raise aquatic animals and plants during the dry season. The second 30% is set for rice cultivation during the rainy season. The third 30% is used for growing fruit and perennial trees, vegetables, field crops and herbs for daily consumption. The last 10% is set for accommodation, animal husbandry, roads and other structures.
