South Korea has complex terrain and is surrounded by water on three sides. Therefore, South Korea has various climate zones and high precipitation, and leading to a diversity of wildlife.[3]
In South Korea, there are 18,117 species of animals, including 1,528 species of vertebrate, 13,025 species of insect and 3,564 species of other invertebrates.[1]
Endangered wildlife
[edit]Article 2 of the Wildlife Conservation and Management Act discusses endangered wild animals in South Korea.[4][5] There are 246 endangered animals in South Korea,[6] with numerous species in need of urgent conservation measures.[7] Endangered wild animals in South Korea include:
- Leopard cat is the country's only wild cat. It lives primarily in mountainous regions.[8]
- Red-crowned crane lives along the Imjin River.[9][10]
- Golden eagle ranges across the country.[11]
- Siberian musk deer lives in Mokpo in South Jeolla Province.[12]
- Hodgson's bat
- Asian black bear
- Mongolian wolf lives in North Gyeongsang Province, Gangwon Province and North Chungcheong Province.[13]
Harmful wild animals
[edit]Harmful wild animals are wild animals which damage property or endanger people.[14]
Harmful wild animals in South Korea include
- The sparrow, magpie, jay, crow, and brown-eared bulbul, which damage fruit crops in groups over a long period of time.[15]
- The pigeon, pheasant, elk, mole, red squirrel, and some kinds of rat and duck damage agriculture, forests and fisheries with their high population densities.
- The magpie, which damage power facilities such as utility poles.[16]
- The pigeon which damage residences with their feces and feathers.[17]
- Wild boars roam the mountainsides, but have been coming down to the city centers in search of food.[18] These big, strong, and fast animals can potentially be fatal to humans.[19]
- Asian giant hornets, when grouped together, can destroy an entire hive of bumblebees. They usually live in large trees and have been known to attack people who accidentally run into their nests.[20]
Flora
[edit]![]() | This article may require copy editing for grammar, style, cohesion, tone, or spelling. (July 2023) |
In South Korea, there are 8,271 species of plants, consisting of 4,662 vascular plant species and 3,609 non-vascular plant species.[1] Wild plants in South Korea include species native to Korea such as Pentactina. Despite the biodiversity, ecosystems in South Korea are unstable because of land development. 67 km2 of forest disappear each year, accounting for 0.1% of all South Korean forests.[21]

Temperate forest
[edit]South Korea is dominated by temperate forests, which takes up 85% of its territory. Land between the Korean Demilitarized Zone and the northern part of 35°N belong to this . Common species in temperate forest are Carpinus laxiflora, Carpinus tschonoskii and Quercus mongolica. A subalpine forest exists in the Kaema Plateau in North Korea or south-central's higher mountains.

Subalpine forest
[edit]In South Korea, boreal forests do not exist in the lowlands.[citation needed] However, subalpine coniferous forest is found in highland or mountainous district in South Korea. Part of Hallasan, part of Seoraksan, fir forest of Jirisan and Gotjawal Forest in Jeju Province are the subalpine forests in South Korea. At an altitude of 1200 m–1500 m in Hallasan, there is a coniferous forest which consists of pine, juniper, a Korean fir. Fruticeta is formed in 1500 m–1700 m and the alpine zone spread out above 1850 m. South-facing slopes have more mild weather than north-facing slopes. Therefore, its height extends a little more on the south side.[23][24][25][26]

Wildlife in the Demilitarized Zone
[edit]The Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) is the unmanned strip of land that exists between North and South Korea.[56] It has been a representation of the two nations' tensions for over 50 years and it is a contributing factor of the events that led to the Korean War in 1950.[56] Since the Armistice between the two nations, the ecosystem of the area has reverted to its natural state due to the lack of human interference; the DMZ and Civilian Control Zone (CCZ) (a buffer to the DMZ) encompass many rivers and an abundant amount of diverse ecosystems along with substantial amounts of plant, mammal, fish and bird species, many of which are globally endangered.[56]
Over 5,000 species of plants and animals have been identified as living in the DMZ, including a significant amount which are considered protected on the endangered species list.[57] These endangered species living in the DMZ include: Siberian musk deer, white-naped crane, red-crowned crane, Asiatic black bear, cinereous vulture and the long-tailed goral.[57]

Preserving biodiversity in the DMZ
[edit]The DMZ and the CCZ are bordered by land mines which leave the areas untouched by humans. This untouched habitat is significant for persevering the East Asia flyway system of migratory birds from Russia to Australia. The white-naped crane and red-crowned crane populations are most affected.[56]
This area is also home to many other endangered species of birds and mammals, including the Asian black bear,[58] who is considered threatened on the endangered species list due to people harvesting their stomach bile and using it for Chinese herbology.[59]
The importance of wildlife conservation and undisturbed habitats is recognized by many, including the South Korean Ministry of Environment,[57] which wishes to keep the DMZ untouched by people in order to safeguard biodiversity.[58]
Controversies
[edit]The Han River ecosystem is endangered because the water flow changed due to water blocking construction at Ilsan Bridge. Deposition of materials in the river caused environmental damage. The Korean Association for the Protection of Wild Birds claimed to remove the structure, which possibly destroyed the natural ecology and caused the bank to overflow.[60]
In the media
[edit]The Nakdong River Basin Environmental Office set up an unmanned camera and successfully captured images of the wildlife. In the video, wild animals are seen moving around the alpine wetland and displayed various actions such as hunting and marking their territories. Martens that were observed at this time were selected as endangered animals and they were apex predators in South Korea. The video has great importance to scientific research as it is the first to document the wildlife in real time. In addition, it offers scientists and government officials the opportunity to reconsider the preservation of the alpine climate.[61]
