The Small Big: Micro Vision-Taiwan Lesser Salamander

Taiwan Lesser Salamander moves slowly, but people should not underestimate its sluggish and slow movement. Taiwan Lesser Salamander can force its enemy to retreat with its venom.

Over the past few years, the destruction of habitat makes Taiwan Lesser Salamander's living helpless. Clean streams have been polluted by garbage. Global warming caused the temperature to rise which makes its habitat smaller and smaller. Taiwan Lesser Salamander encountered typhoons which make it and its family struggle on the edge of death.

The series of "The Small Big Micro Version" hopes to make the young audience pay more attention to Taiwan's special species and the environmental crisis they are facing.

In order to achieve this goal, PTS Taiwan held public VR screening for children and adults. The audience can have an immersive VR experience through the event.

There are more than 3,000 people in total who participated in VR experiencing the event. Many children said they feel like they are in a real ecological world and try to reach out their hands to touch the animals in the VR.

In addition, "The Small Big Micro Version" also presented on Youtube for the audience to watch on smartphones. Moreover, "The Small Big Micro Version" also published a book in the content of biological knowledge for the youth to carry out as a study book when they went for field observation.
