0km Mountain Center" serves as the gateway to the urban forests, starting from daily life to explore the beauty of nature. Despite Taiwan's small size and dense population, 60.7% of its land is covered by forests, boasting biodiversity exceeding the global average by 150 times. The rich natural environment and ecology represent Taiwan's most precious treasures, making sustainable coexistence with nature an essential lesson for every Taiwanese. The Shin Kong Mitsukoshi Group collaborates with Format Space to curate and operate the Japanese colonial-era wooden townhouse dormitories managed by the Forestry Bureau and Conservation Administration, focusing on Taiwan's sustainable mountain forest living. The initiative calls upon the energies of various sectors including industry, government, academia, and creativity, to establish a cross-disciplinary collaborative platform. With a spirit of "rediscovery," the initiative guides the public through sustainable choices, environmental education, thematic curation, and other means, fostering diverse perspectives and imaginative exploration, step by step shaping Taiwan's sustainable mountain forest living advocacy.
