'There are no crops to celebrate': climate crisis wipes out a way of life in Taiwan's mountains
Countless landslides in Nantou county are disrupting ancient agricultural traditions, leading some to wonder how much longer they can continue to cling to the steep slopes they call home.
Halfway up Taiwan's central mountain ranges, two young women were working a shift at the town's service station in August when the landslide hit. They ran next door for shelter, a decision that probably saved their lives. Moments later, the station became buried under tonnes of earth and rock.
The disaster in Ren'ai township was one of countless landslides in the same month across Nantou, a landlocked county in central Taiwan, triggered by torrential rain brought by the whipping tail of distant typhoon Khanun.
The county in the central region of Taiwan's main island is set in a dramatic range of lush, jungle-covered mountains.
They are sparsely populated, with small towns and villages accessed by winding single-lane roads, where aboriginal tribes are among those making a living mostly through agriculture, and holding on to ancient traditions.
Landslides are not uncommon in Taiwan, the whole island is in a hot zone for typhoons and earthquakes. However, mountain communities like Nantou are particularly vulnerable to extreme weather, and things are getting worse amid the climate crisis.
Nantou county in Taiwan's central mountain ranges was hit by weeks of landslides after the edge of typhoon Khanun brought torrential rain in August 2023. Houses and businesses including a gas station were buried under tonnes of rock and earth. Landslides are not uncommon in Taiwan, which experiences frequent typhoons and earthquakes. However, extreme weather is getting worse amid the climate crisis, and mountain communities like Nantou are particularly vulnerable.

Anger grows as illegal construction partly blamed for landslide deaths on Italian island
Seven confirmed dead and search continues for people missing after Saturday's disaster on Ischia.
As rescuers continued to search for five people still missing after a catastrophic landslide in Ischia, anger was growing on the southern Italian island on Sunday over the years of rampant illegal construction that contributed to the disaster.
Seven people, including a three-week-old baby and a pair of young siblings, are confirmed to have died in Saturday's landslide, which was triggered by a violent storm that sent mud and debris from Monte Epomeo peak, crashing into the hamlet of Casamicciola Terme.
