Activites

We carry out the mission of conserving, enhancing and restoring forest biodiversity.

  • To establish appropriate forest biodiversity conservation strategies for each climate zone, we evaluate forest ecosystems and resources by climate zone.
  • By collecting forest plants by climate zone and region, we secure genetic resources and strengthen the ex-situ conservation function of the arboretum for the sustainable utilization of genetic resources.
  • To conserve the seed genetic resources collected from forest plants, we operate a seed bank and the Baekdudaegan Global Seed Vault (BGSV).
  • To ecologically restore degraded forests, we build information systems on the status of degraded areas and develop ecological restoration technologies.
  • We build a database for the utilization of our plant resources and provide information-sharing services to the public.
  • We develop and supply industrial materials to support the green bio industry. Additionally, we operate the Bio Startup Support Center to disseminate technology to forest farmers, and small and medium-sized enterprises.
