Twenty-two deer were transferred from the Taipei Zoo to serve as a founder population. Over the next 10 years the deer were maintained in enclosures until their eventual release into the National Park in 1994.

Discussions regarding other possible reintroduction sites, including Yangmingshan National Park near Taipei, are ongoing.
