About us
Established in
1996, The Society of Wilderness (SOW) was founded by a group of
citizens living on the island of Taiwan. SOW is a civil, grassroots
non-government organization for nature education and conservation.
We are teachers, doctors, managers, housewives, students, retired
persons, accountants, salespersons, and people from all sectors.
In additional to headquarters in the capital city of Taipei, SOW has
9 chapters in different counties of Taiwan, 2 oversea
offices and 2 oversea preparation offices. Over the course of
10 years, we have grown to nearly 9000 members. With the
growth rate of about 1000 members per year, SOW has become the
largest non-government nature conservation and education
organization in Taiwan. |

enlightened by the wonders of life. |
