Following the 1999 earthquake, Taomi aimed to rebuild their community. Villagers co-operated with government units, NPOs, and academic institutions to foster ecotourism development and to bring greater attention to self-governance and long-term sustainability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Establishing Village Association as Commoning Structure<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Taomi Community Development Association is one of the earliest self-organised communal managements in Taomi, connecting villagers through common interests, e.g. hobby groups, mutual aid groups. Villagers are involved in village governance and communal management of village resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fostering Stewardship through Capacity Building<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

NPOs help introduce concepts of community empowerment, benefit-sharing, and ecological practices. Villagers learned more about environmental awareness, and they now know how to embrace their role in protecting the environment, plants and animals! This aids in finding a balance between ecological needs and economic sustainability of the village.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
