When Taroko National Park was established on November 28, l986, it was of special significance for the environmental protection movement in Taiwan: it showed that both the public and the government agencies had realized that against the background of the nation's four decades of extraordinary economic success, serious damage was being done to its natural resources.
According to the National Park Act of the Republic of China (passed in l972), parks are established to protect the natural scenery, historic relics and wildlife; to conserve natural resources; and to facilitate scientific research and promote environmental education.
According to 12th regulation of the National Park Act of the Republic of China, the land in the park is divided into five categories: Ecological Protection Areas (these are managed for their wilderness value, and are not open to the public), Special Scenic Areas, Archeological Protection Areas, Recreation Areas, and General Protection Areas. Protection projects and utility projects are undertaken according to the unique characteristics of each category's resources. This has achieved the aims of conservation, research and environmental educational recreation.
According to the National Park Act, the Ministry of the Interior is responsible for supervising the park. It's Construction and Planning Agency is responsible for the design and supervision of parks, and also supervises the headquarters of each national park and manages the park's conservation affairs. There are five administrative Sections and one police corps for each national park. (from tarok national park homepage)
