ABSTRACT

This study aims to provide basic data forthe decision-making process in selecting sites for wetland restoration projects. To this end, the current list of demaged wetlands was identified based on the findings from the nationwide monitoring project in 2016 targeted at wetlands in inland areas.Then, to determine the necessity of restoration for these demaged sites, the cause of demage was investigated, and their conservation value was examined from an ecological and legal perspective.The 2016 monitoring project identified a total of 20 demaged wetlands, of which one site was deemed to have high conservation value through analysis ofits ecological and legal values and on-site reviews. The results ofthis study are expected to support policymakers’ decision-making in selecting wetlands for restoration projects since it identifies priority sites among demaged wetlands that require immediate restoration efforts.It should also be pointed outthat wetlands in South Korea cannot benefit from legal protection despite their high conservation value unless they have a designated status as protected areas.
