Alangyi Village rangers recently spotted what they believed to be a Formosan clouded leopard hunting goats on a cliff in Taitung County's Daren Township. In response, the Taitung District Office of the Forestry Bureau said that this is a very important development and they are actively working on confirming the sighting.

Kao Cheng-chi (高正治), President of the Association of the Austronesian Community College Development Association and village chief of the Paiwan Tribe, said that in June of last year, the Alangyi Village set up a team of rangers to patrol traditional areas. Unexpectedly, two different groups of rangers spotted what the Paiwan people refer to as "Li' uljaw," or what is known in the West as the Formosan clouded leopard, on the prowl in the wild.

One team member vividly described clearly seeing a leopard climbing a tree, before scrambling up a cliff to hunt goats. Another team member described seeing a leopard darting past a scooter before scurrying up a tree and going out of sight.

As a result of the sightings of the sacred and incredibly rare animal, Kao said that members of the Alangyi Village held a tribal meeting to further investigate the sightings of the leopard and to prohibit outsiders from hunting in the area. Alangyi Village elders also asked the Forestry Bureau to stop logging and other disruptive activities.

Community leaders also authorized the Austronesian Community College Development Association to mobilize fund-raising efforts.

In a telephone interview with CNA, Alangyi Village Conference Chairman Pan Chih-hua (潘志華) confirmed that rangers from the village had spotted the Formosan clouded leopard in person, but he was not at the liberty of disclosing the exact time and location of the sightings.
