AB - This study aimed to analyze trends and key drivers of wetland area change in inlandwetland loss regions using a temporal land cover analysis, and to propose a method for identifyingpotential restoration sites based on land cover maps and the InVEST model. Public datasets, includingthe 4th National Inland Wetland Survey (2016-2021) and the Ministry of Environment’s Land CoverMaps (1980-2022), were utilized. The temporal analysis revealed that conversion to agricultural landwas the primary driver of wetland loss between 1980 and 2000, while grassland expansion was the main factor between 2000 and 2022. Restoration candidates were selected based on areas where bothwetland area and carbon storage had declined, and among them, regions with more than 50% publicownership were extracted for field verification. As a result, wetland loss was confirmed in 8 out of the10 selected sites. The findings of this study provide practical insights for inland wetland conservationand the establishment of a national wetland monitoring framework. Furthermore, they can serve as afoundational dataset to support the national target of restoring 30% of degraded ecosystems.
