Therefore, the members of Taiwan Black-faced Spoonbill Conservation Association voluntarily initiated the Long-Term Bird Census in Cigu (LTBCC) project in 2004. The aims of the LTBCC were to monitor the structure and composition of the avian community, as well as to build the population trends of the flagship and the common species to provide the necessary information for decision-making on the management of the Black-faced Spoonbill Refuge in Cigu District, Tainan City, Taiwan. 4 August 2020 https://web.archive.org/web/20201220094037/https://www.tesri.gov.tw/A15_2/download1/30958/2 20 December 2020
