        National parks, protected areas and biodiversity conservation in North Korea: opportunities for international collaboration

        Christopher McCarthy,James Banfill,Buho Hoshino 국립중앙과학관 2021 Journal of Asia-Pacific Biodiversity Vol.14 No.3

        National parks and protected areas represent one of the best ways to safeguard nature and preservebiodiversity, especially endemic and endangered species. Currently, more than 110 countries have someform of protected areas within their borders. North Korea’s comprehensive network of national parksand protected areas are rich in biodiversity and ecological value; however, contemporary research on theintegrity of North Korea’s protected lands is incomplete. In this paper, we utilize a remote sensingapproach to explore North Korea’s protected area system and investigate the current state of biodiversityconservation. We find that several key biodiversity areas have experienced severe tree loss and habitatfragmentation since 2000, indicating that the effectiveness of national park governance andmanagement toward guarding against biodiversity loss is inadequate. To address the issue of biodiversityconservation, we recommend pathways for international cooperation aimed at enhancing conservationefforts and comment on the steps North Korea can take to achieve the United Nations Convention onBiological Diversity’s Aichi Targets and Sustainable Development Goals.

        Preserving the Gobi: Identifying potential UNESCO world heritage in Mongolia’s Gobi Desert

        Christopher McCarthy,Troy Sternberg,Buho Hoshino,James Banfill,Erdenebuyan Enkhjargal,코나가야 유끼,Simon Phillips 국립중앙과학관 2022 Journal of Asia-Pacific Biodiversity Vol.15 No.4

        The Gobi Desert, Asia’s largest desert, covers roughly 1,300,000 square kilometers across southernMongolia and northern China. One of the world’s most iconic deserts, the Gobi is a functioning, healthyecosystem home to spectacular landscapes that support an impressive variety of biological diversity,including many rare and endangered species. Human activity in the Gobi has existed for at least5,000 years and several culturally and historically significant archeological sites have been documentedin the region; the Gobi continues to support an ancient and enduring nomadic lifestyle. Prehistoric tracesof ancient life are also widespread, making the Gobi a hotspot for fossil discoveries. Despite a wealth ofnatural and cultural heritage the Gobi Desert in Mongolia lacks any recognition as UNESCO WorldHeritage. This article explores the natural and cultural heritage of the Gobi Desert in Mongolia and usingUNESCO’s framework for “Outstanding Universal Value,” identifies several sites with exceptionalgeological, ecological, and ethnological features that we believe meet the criteria for World Heritagestatus. In the face of looming threats from human interference and climate change, increased recognitionand appreciation of Gobi Desert landscapes is crucial to ensure the long-term protection of these irre placeable sources of life and inspiration.
