In 1991, Taiwan designated its first wildlife sanctuary, a small
island in the southwest corner of Penghu (the Pescadores). Forty-
four species of seabirds have been observed on Cat Islet.While most
or these birds are migratory, thousands of terns use this small
piece of land as their annual breeding grounds.
