The theory of environmental justice is derived from the Movement of Environmental Protection in the United States. In the course of its development it has changed from "natural ecological protection" to "equitable distribution of environmental risks". The applications of the same theory to other countries vary in terms of the scope of interpretation of environmental justice. Environmental justice, however, inspires international communities to respect all ethnic and cultural diversities, including race, conservations, natural ecology, equitable distribution of environmental risks, procedural justice of residents, disadvantaged groups, traditional life of vulnerable groups. The purpose of this study is based on the theoretical basis of environmental justice to explain the conflict between the practice of indigenous hunting and the establishment of national parks. Previous literature shows that the purpose of national parks is for conservations, but the other choice is for economic development. Taiwan is no exception, even to the extent that the establishment of national parks has restricted the cultural practice of indigenous hunting. Firstly, environmental justice in relation to indigenous hunting and national parks is explained. Secondly, the connotation of "environmental justice" and case studies of environmental justice of indigenous peoples are cited and discussed. Thirdly, the relationship between indigenous hunting and national parks is explained. Finally, this paper suggests that from a perspective of environmental justice, the conflict can be solved by achieving sustainable developments through co-management mechanism with the suggestions provided by relevant academic research and problem-solving practices. |
