Ulsan improves habitats at two parks and begins biodiversity monitoring
Ulsan has improved natural habitats at two parks in the South Korean city.
The work used 890 million won in national funding and covered Baenam Park in Nam-gu and Daewangam Park in Dong-gu.
At Baenam, the city created a small habitat with wildflowers, trees and wood piles to support birds and small animals.
At Daewangam, it improved habitat for a rare, endangered coastal flower and added fencing to protect it from visitors.
The projects aim to help wildlife in areas affected by development and reduce damage from people visiting the flower’s habitat.
The city will track biodiversity at both parks for five years, recording which species arrive and how many.
Ulsan spent 890 million won in national funds to improve habitats at Baenam Park and Daewangam Park.

Baenam Park gained a small habitat area, a nature learning path, flowering plants and trees, and places for small animals to shelter.
