custodianSteward 2026-10-15 chi This dataset contains wildlife occurrence records for animals found in 2026 and admitted to the TYWB Wildlife Rehabilitation Clinic, operated by the Wild Bird Society of Taoyuan (TYWB). For most records, the location refers to the place where the animal was originally found. In a small number of cases, the original finding location was unknown or not recorded; some source records contained only a transfer location, which was not treated as the occurrence location.When several animals were found in the same finding event, they are represented by a single occurrence record, with the number of animals recorded in individualCount. Because the data come from wildlife rescue cases rather than standardized surveys, they should be interpreted as opportunistic occurrence data.

Most animals in the dataset were originally found within Taoyuan City. A small number of records are from other parts of Taiwan, as animals found outside Taoyuan were occasionally brought to the clinic by members of the public. 120.405 121.8 25.189 22.667 2026-01-01 2026-12-31 The dataset covers vertebrate wildlife admitted to the TYWB Wildlife Rehabilitation Clinic, primarily birds, with additional records of mammals, reptiles, and amphibians. class Aves Birds class Mammalia Mammals class Reptilia Reptiles class Amphibia Amphibians The purpose of this dataset is to make wildlife occurrence information recorded through wildlife rescue cases openly available in a standardized format for biodiversity research, conservation, and data integration. Wildlife rescue records capture a distinct dimension of biodiversity information: where, when, and under what circumstances wild animals are found in distress and enter the rescue system. Although these records are not produced through standardized surveys, their accumulation over time can reveal recurring spatial and temporal patterns of wildlife risk that are difficult to see from individual cases alone.The TYWB Wildlife Rehabilitation Clinic, operated by the Wild Bird Society of Taoyuan, receives wildlife rescue cases primarily from Taoyuan City. This dataset publishes the original finding information associated with animals found in 2026 as standardized occurrence records, making these data openly available for biodiversity research, conservation, wildlife management, and long-term surveillance of wildlife risks and health. This dataset is structured as Darwin Core occurrence records. Each row represents one original wildlife finding event. If several animals were found together in the same event, they are grouped into one record and the total number of animals is given in individualCount.Each record includes an occurrence identifier, record type, occurrence status, finding date, and number of individuals. Taxonomic information includes common and scientific names, a taxon identifier, taxon rank, and classification from kingdom to genus, with the specific epithet provided where applicable. Geographic information includes country, administrative area, municipality, locality, coordinates, geodetic datum, and coordinate precision where available. Habitat information is also provided when recorded. The wildlife rescue and rehabilitation activities underlying this dataset were carried out under a service contract commissioned by the Department of Agriculture, Taoyuan City Government. We also acknowledge the staff and volunteers of the TYWB Wildlife Rehabilitation Clinic who contributed to wildlife rescue, case documentation, and record keeping. This dataset may be updated as additional 2026 records are reviewed, corrected, and prepared for publication. monthly PING-YI LIN Wild Bird Society of Taoyuan Specialist

+886-3-369-5685 admin2@taoyuanbird.org.tw https://taoyuanbird.org.tw/ Individual rescue records were retrospectively reviewed and reorganized into occurrence-level records. The original finding date, location, taxon, and related case information were used to determine whether individual animals belonged to the same finding event. Animals originating from the same finding event were combined into a single occurrence record, and the number of animals was recorded in individualCount. A new stable occurrenceID was assigned to each reconstructed finding event. These identifiers were created during preparation of this dataset and are separate from the clinic’s internal rescue case numbers, which are not included in the published occurrence dataset. Taxonomic, temporal, and geographic information was then standardized and mapped to Darwin Core terms for publication through TaiBIF IPT. This dataset covers wildlife found in 2026 and subsequently admitted to the TYWB Wildlife Rehabilitation Clinic. Most records originate from Taoyuan City, the clinic’s primary service area, with a small number of cases from other parts of Taiwan. The dataset includes birds, mammals, reptiles, and amphibians. The source data consist of individual medical records of wild animals treated at the TYWB Wildlife Rehabilitation Clinic. Each original record represents one animal and is managed using an internal rescue case number. The records contain information on the animal’s taxon, finding date, finding location, and other case-related information. Animals enter the rescue system through reports, transfers, or direct delivery by members of the public, government agencies, and other organizations. The records accumulate through routine wildlife rescue activities, without fixed sampling sites, survey intervals, or standardized sampling effort. Records were reviewed for consistency in taxonomic, temporal, geographic, and occurrence information before publication. Taxonomic names and identifiers were standardized, and dates, locality information, coordinates, and individual counts were checked for inconsistencies. When the original finding location could not be determined, transfer or handover locations were not used as occurrence locations. Records representing multiple animals found together in the same event were consolidated into a single occurrence record, with the number of animals recorded in individualCount. Cho-Chao Fan principalInvestigator PING-YI LIN processor PEI-JU WANG contentProvider This project was commissioned by the Department of Agriculture, Taoyuan City Government, to analyze and organize wildlife rescue records and conduct ecological education and outreach activities. As part of the project, wildlife rescue records are reviewed and standardized for biodiversity data publication through TaiBIF IPT and subsequent integration into the Taiwan Biodiversity Information Alliance (TBIA). This project was carried out under a professional service contract commissioned by the Department of Agriculture, Taoyuan City Government. The project primarily covers Taoyuan City in northern Taiwan. A small number of rescue records may originate from other parts of Taiwan when animals found outside Taoyuan are brought to the clinic by members of the public. The occurrence records in this dataset originate from wildlife rescue cases admitted to and documented by the TYWB Wildlife Rehabilitation Clinic, operated by the Wild Bird Society of Taoyuan. These cases were handled under a separate wildlife case response and handling service commissioned by the Department of Agriculture, Taoyuan City Government. The resulting records were subsequently reviewed, organized, and standardized under this project for biodiversity data publication. Because the records were generated through wildlife rescue activities rather than a standardized biodiversity survey, they should be interpreted as opportunistic occurrence data. Cho-Chao Fan principalInvestigator This project provides the wildlife rescue and case-handling services through which the original records used in this dataset were generated. Wildlife cases are reported, received, handled, and documented through this service. 2026-09-15T01:28:51.180+00:00 dataset LIN P (2026).
