Environmental Exhibition Attracts Attention

The tree known to primarily inhabit Hallasan Mountain is hanging upside down.

This is a representation of the dwindling state of the trees due to climate changes such as rising temperatures.


When the guide explains that the tree, the Korean fir, is used as a Christmas tree, children listen attentively with curiosity.

The trees, like those in Hallasan, cannot survive in hot weather.

In another section, characters of endangered bird species living in Jeju like the white-backed woodpecker and the white-eye bird, captivate the visitors' attention.

These are Buddy Friends, characters developed based on the five endangered bird species that inhabit Jeju.


In this way, an eco-cultural exhibition center, featuring various exhibits and educational content based on Jeju's nature, is receiving positive responses.

INTERVIEW
Yoon Na-young / Visitor
I visited with my children, and I think the content was informative and enjoyable, even for locals who might not know much about Jeju's representative birds like white-backed woodpecker and forest, the gotjawal.

The exhibition center plans to continuously develop content, including character-based animated videos, to promote the value of Jeju's nature.

In addition, the center is taking the lead in sustainable environmental education, leveraging Jeju's biodiversity, through cooperation agreements with other regional education offices.

INTERVIEW
Lee Ji-yong / Director, The Planet
We expect an influx of viewers who have encountered The Planet's worldview through media, so we will continue to develop and offer a variety of exhibitions, experiences, and educational programs based on ecological cultural resources.

The exhibition, where one can realize the importance of biodiversity conservation from Hallasan's Korean nut pine trees to endangered bird species, is receiving even more attention in the era of the climate crisis.
