The budget for compensation related to the conservation of indigenous reserve lands has seen a significant increase of NT$2.6 billion starting from 2025, with the amount rising from NT$30,000 to NT$60,000 per hectare annually and adjusting every two years based on the consumer price index. This development has caught the attention of indigenous legislators from both the blue and green camps, with Government officials expressing concerns over the growing budget during a legislative review. Various suggestions and discussions have been raised regarding the management of the increased budget, the potential impact on existing budgets, and the need for coordinated planning with the Ministry of Agriculture to address the forestry and land conservation aspects.
