Restoration Efforts through Community Partnership in Odaesan National Park
Proportion of the area of the contribution comprising Key Biodiversity Areas: 0%
In Odaesan National Park, many roadkills happen on the National Road No. 6. During spring (March to April), many roadkills take place when Dybowski’s brown frog and salamanders move to spawning ponds. Efforts are being made to conserve the ecosystem and enhance biodiversity with the local community. An agreement on Functional Ecological Space Development for Conservation of National Park Biological Resources (Amphibians) has been made between residents of Samson-ri in Yeongok-myeon, Gangneung-si and Odaesan National Park Office. Support for wild animal rescue and ecological path construction has been made through voluntary cooperation with the local community. Promotion of scientific surveys and partnership activities with the residents has been made (e.g. installation of sensor cameras and thermometers, joint spawning monitoring and training for residents etc.)
Potential conservation benefits in saving biodiversity
Potential reduction of species extinction risk resulting from threat abatement actions
Absolute value (STAR)
0.1% of the total biodiversity conservation potential of Republic of Korea is covered by this project.
0.3% of Asia's biodiversity conservation potential is from Republic of Korea.
25.9% of global biodiversity conservation potential is from Asia.
The chart below represents the relative disaggregation of the selected contribution's total potential opportunity for reducing global species extinction risk through taking actions to abate different threats to species within its boundaries. The percentages refer to the amount of the total opportunity that could potentially be achieved through abating that particular threat.
