Forest Conservation Department
In order to proactively respond to forest environmental change, Forest Conservation Department aims to assess climate change impact on forest ecosystems, develop adaptation technology to climate change, conserve biodiversity, manage urban forests and Maeulsoop, predict forest fires and disasters, prevent and recover from debris flow, combat desertification, conserve water and soil at forest watershed, develop early rehabilitation technology for devastated forests, and implement comprehensive control of forest insect pests and diseases.
Forest Restoration Division
Building on basic research on soil and water, Forest Restoration Division covers such subjects as site and soil conditions for forest productivity enhancement, forest functions of creating water resource and conserving water quality, restoration of Baekdudaegan and abandoned coal mines, establishment of vegetation in reclaimed lands and desertification prevention. To this end, we carry out cooperative research with Russia, China, Mongolia, and other countries. We are leading the Working Group II of Joint Research on DSS(Dust and Sand Storms) among China, Korea and Japan of TEMM(the Tripartite Environment Ministers Meeting) for combat desertification and reduce DSS in North-East ASIA.
