“…In addition, a plan to segment the region into a core, buffer, and transition areas for management purposes is under review. As vegetation in surrounding areas is well developed, the use of foreign species is minimized while a number of efforts are made to connect eco-corridors smoothly (Kim 2002) (Fig. 2).…”

Korea established foundations for rapid economic growth and national development within a short period of time, but not without incidental problems of degradation to the natural environment. Problems include destruction of ecosystems and reduction of forest area. Nowadays, environment-friendly construction projects are required in Korea for efficient use and preservation of national land. In an effort to protect natural land four types of restoration and preservation plans have been proposed recently. This paper explores the status and value of these efforts and the problems of re-vegetation works on disturbed land in Korea. Korea still gives insufficient attention to species selection for revegetation in terms of ecological soundness. In restoring damaged areas, Korea still uses mainly exotic species. As a result, the Ministry of Construction and Transportation is revising design criteria for road slopes in consideration of climate and topography. The Ministry of Environment revised the Natural Environment Conservation Law and uses natural ecological restoration engineers and natural environment management operators as environment restoration specialists. These engineers and sectors specialize in the area of nature in reviews and ecological restoration works. The first national qualifying examination to select natural ecological restoration engineers and natural environment management operators took place in 2004.
