The purpose of this study was to determine the correlation between wetland visitors' consciousness of ecology and their needs and thereby, provide for some effective measures to manage them. For this purpose, 3 study points were set up: "wetland visitors' consciousness of ecology and their needs", "differences of such consciousness depending on their demographic variables" and the "relationship between such consciousness and their needs". To this end, Upo Wetland visitors were surveyed for an empirical analysis. The visitors' awareness about ecology was measured with Dunlap's 15-item NEP Inventory, while their needs were analyzed in reference to Maslow's 7-Step Human Desire Ladder. The survey was conducted at Upo Wetland for 3 days, and as a result, a total of 228 questionnaires were returned. The results of this study can be summarized as follows; First, the visitors' consciousness of ecology and their needs were higher than the normal level. In terms of their consciousness of ecology, their awareness of the ecological crisis potential and anti-humanism was highest. In terms of their needs, the aesthetic need was highest, followed by the cognitive one. On the other hand, the needs for self-achievement and self-esteem were lowest; except them, the higher the needs were positioned at Maslow's ladder of desire, and subjects were more responsive to them. As a result of analyzing the correlation between the subjects' consciousness of ecology and their needs, it was found that the correlation was negative in some sub-areas, while being positive in other sub-areas. After all, the ratio of the sub-areas having a positive correlation was as 3 times high as that of the sub-areas having a negative correlation. Even as for the correlation coefficient values, they were higher in the positive sub-areas, which suggests that the correlation between wetland visitors' consciousness of ecology and their needs were positive, although at a lower level, in overall terms. As a result of comparatively analyzing visitors' needs by dividing them into 3 sub-groups depending on the levels of their consciousness of ecology, it was found that the higher their consciousness of ecology was, their needs were higher. Overall, wetland visitors' awareness of ecology was higher than the normal level, and it was estimated that such awareness would continue to increase. Hence, it could be inferred that their needs, particularly, their aesthetic and cognitive ones would continue to increase, too. Accordingly, it is deemed important to manage the wetland landscape making use of its visual resources, while continuing to provide the visitors with the contents fulfilling their need for knowledge.

오늘날의 화제는 첨단과학화 되면서 정보산업 등에 초점이 모아진다. 예를 들면 손톱만한 크기에 신문지 크기 몇만장의 정보를 기억시킬 수 있다든지 머리카락 굵기의 광케이블에 몇백회선분의 회선이 가능하다는 등의 그야말로 상상을 초월할 만큼 첨단화되어가고 있다. 그런가 하면 한편에서는 자연의 생태계가 파괴되어 지구상의 생명체가 1년에 수만종이 멸종되어 가고 있다는 충격적인 정보가 우리를 당혹스럽게 하고 있다. 그런가하면 지구의 온난화 현상으로 오존층이 얼마안가면 구멍이 뚫어져 금방이라도 모든 생명체가 전멸될 것 같은 위기설도 과학자의 입에서 흘러나온다고 한다. 이러한 상황 하에서 한편에서 유전공학적으로 새로운 품종을 연구개발하여 도감(圖鑑)을 만든 것을 보면 코끼리만한 소도 나올 것 같다. 그러나 뭐니뭐니해도 우리의 육안으로 볼 수 없는 미생물과 효소의 위력을 생각할 때 도깨비 같은 존재 같이 생각된다. 이 지구상에 존재하는 생명체 중에서 가장 작은 생명체인 미생물이 어떤 위력을 지녔기에 철을 분해시키고 나무조각도 분해시키고 심지어는 광물질과 암석도 용해시키는 힘을 지녔다. 분해뿐만 아니라 물질의 형성에도 간여해서 생명체가 발아하고 육성되어 이 지구상을 덮고 있는 것이다. 의학적인 분야에서는 일찍이 발달히여 병을 치료하고 예방할 수 있는 항생제를 생산하여 암까지도 치료하고 있지 않는가? 농업분야에 있어서 미생물을 배양해서 응용하는 데에 낙후되어 있다. 때 늦은 감은 있으나 이제부터 미생물과 농업을 함께 묶어 연구하고 개발하는데 우리의 지혜를 모이야 할 것으로 사료된다.

MZ는 국제적 환경 생태 지대가 될 수 있으며, 황해의 한-임진 강어귀를 열곡 중심에 있는 철원 유역과 이으며, 동해안 바위투성이 해안에 있는 설악산과 금강산 사이의 태백산까지 잇는다. 이 통일의 자연 기념비는 인류의 희망의 성지와 많은 사람들이 목숨을 잃은 국경 지대에서 평화의 상정이 된 멸종 위기의 학의 보호 구역이 될 수 있다. White-napped 학 (Grus vipio), Red-necked 학 (Grus japonensis), 아시아에서 충성의 상징인 Hooked 학 (Grus monacha)은 곧 멸종할 운명에 처해 있다. 임진강 어귀 근처에서 시작되는 귀중한 풍경은 여러분의 유산을 재발경하고, 풍경에 내재된 본질적인 자연?문화적 가치를 포착하고, 그리고 환경적으로 건강한 개발을 하면서도 다음 세대를 위해 그것들을 보존할 완전한 자원망이다. 환경교육은 '고객으로서의 장소'의 모델과 연계된 환경 교육은 DMZ의 미래를 위한 일치된 의견을 이뤄내는 관문이 될 것이다.

1992년6월, 브라질의 Rio de Janeiro에서는 세계인의 관심속에 '환경과 개발을 위한 국제연합 환경회의'가 개최되었다. 이 회의는 세계 1백78개국에서는 1만 5천여명 이상의 대표들과 1백15개국의 정치지도자들이 직접 참여한, 당시까지 열렸던 최대규모의 국제 환경회의였다. 리우회의가 이처럼 많은 나라들의 관심을 끌 수 있었던 것은, 점차 인류의 생존뿐만 아니라 생태계의 존립을 위협하는 환경오염과 80년대 이래로 계속되어온 후진국들의 경제적 위기에 대한 관심, 그리고 이 문제들에 대한 그 어떤 해결책이 나오리라는 막연한 기대감 등이 작용했기 때문이다. 그러나 기대와는 달리 이 회의는 별다른 성과를 얻지 못한 채 끝나고 말았다. 이는 지난 1972년 Stockholum에서 열린 "Earth Summit" 유엔환경회의(그때는 2개국 수상만이 참석했음) 이후 선진국과 후진국 사이에 환경보존과 경제개발이라는 두 개의 모순적인 패러다임(Paradigm)에 대해 뚜렷한 시각차가 발생한 것에 기인한다.

The climate crisis threatens Earth's ecosystems and biodiversity. In particular, it can be said that the cause of the global crisis began with human greed. An educational alternative is needed to change the Christian worldview that causes greed. The purpose of this study is to find ways to apply democratic citizenship education to Christian education as an alternative to overcome the climate crisis. The contents of the study to achieve the purpose were first the essence of Christian citizenship education was examined by dividing it into citizenship education, democratic citizenship education, and Christian citizenship education. Second, The model of democratic citizenship education was established by defining its goals, content, methods, and directions within the context of Christian citizenship education. Third, the application plan of Christian education for democratic citizenship education was classified into 7 categories and proposed; environmental education to overcome the climate crisis, ethical education to restore the public role of the church, education to form God's character, education to realize the village education community, education that promotes Christ's peace and Christ education that fosters consideration for multicultural individuals, and literacy education to prevent the negative impacts of digital media culture. Next, the plan to apply democratic citizenship education to Christian education is, first, to reduce human greed and restore God's creation order through environmental education that can overcome the climate crisis. Second, through ethics education to restore the church's public nature, it is necessary to restore the church's role for the church's moral empathy and publicity. Third, through the education that forms the God's character, it is necessary to form a mature character of faith in which personality and faith are harmonious and balanced. Fourth, schools, villages, and churches form a community through education that realizes a village education community so that the members of the village can obtain educational results. Fifth, through education that aims for the peace of the God Christians should be able to live as Christian democratic citizens who achieve peace in the kingdom of God. Sixth, through education that considers multicultural people, faith education that helps them overcome discrimination, exclusion, and hatred toward multicultural people with the love of Jesus Christ and seek a life of coexistence. Seventh, through literacy education that prevents the harmful effects of digital media culture, personal ability to read and write in media should ultimately be improved to the ability to practice socially.

Narrow-mouth frog (Kaloula borealis) is the only amphibian species of genus Kaloula living in South Korea. They are designated and managed as endangered class II wildlife by the Ministry of Environment, Korea. Therefore, there is a desperate need of a habitat restoration study to prevent the extinction of narrow-mouth frog. This study is primarily for the purpose of presenting the direction and practical applications to restore damaged narrow-mouth frog habitats or to suggest alternative habitat options. The habitat suitability index (HSI) of narrow-mouth frog was applied to the research area in Mokpo City of Jeollanam-do Province, in order to present a new narrow-mouth frog habitat. We analyzed the research area based on historical contexts, ecological environment, ecology, and habitat requirements. The research area was divided into the core, buffer, and transition zones according to UNESCO MAB (Man and Biosphere) to establish local land-use plans. As for the foundation of the plan, we divided the habitat composition of the core, where narrow-mouth frog live in, into wetland (spawning area), grassland (shelter and feeding grounds), and forestland (feeding ground). We had a comparative analysis of habitat suitability in pre and post planning of narrow-mouth frog habitat restoration. For the validation study of habitat restoration plans, the future research should be on the composition of test-bed, continuous monitoring, and scientific habitat maintenance.

Although there are many studies of the effect of climate change on the breeding phenology and community diversity of amphibians, the studies of variations in reproductive population size of individual species according to climate change are still lacking. We examined the effect of climate change on the reproductive population size of Rana huanrenensis and Hynobius leechii, which bred in mountain valleys, by surveying the reproductive population of the two species between 2005 and 2012 and analyzing the correlation between the variation of the outdoor population and the surrounding climate change factors, obtained from a meteorological observatory located at 5.6 km from the study site. The size of the reproductive population of the two species commonly fluctuated with aan pproximately 3.5-year cycle. That of H. leechii, in particular, decreased significantly over eight years. The air temperature tended to more closely relate with the reproductive population size of R. huanrenensis as was the case of the precipitation with that of H. leechii. The yearly mean highest temperature and spring mean temperature variation consistently decreased over the eight years, and the latter was related with the significantly decreased size of H. leechii reproductive population. These results showed that recent climate change directly could affect the reproductive population size of amphibians, particularly H. leechii, which breeds in mountain valleys.

Global warming has a significant impact on diverse ecosystems including agroecosystem through; changing of phenology, physiology and distribution. Monitoring of biological responses emanating from global warming is required to understand the challenges of biological diversity conservation posed by climate change. The Korean government selected four butterfly species as indicators of climate change in agroecosystem: Papilio xuthus, Pieris rapae, Colias erate, and Eurema mandarina. The aim of this study was to investigate the different monitoring methods of the butterflies in Korea and suggest a suitable monitoring method to track the population trends of butterflies in the agroecosystem. Butterfly monitoring was conducted in eight sites throughout Korea from April to October, 2018 using three survey methods: point census at rice paddy area, point census at the border between rice paddy and hill and line transect along the rice paddy and hill. Each method took approximately 30 min. to count the butterflies. A total of 4,691 butterflies and 92 species were counted: The most dominant species was Pieris rapae with a total count of 1,205 individuals followed by Polygonia c-aureum, Zizeeria maha, Colias erate, Cupido argiades and Papilio xuthus. Among the three census methods, the total number of species and individuals when using line transect method was statistically higher than in the other methods. However, the numbers of the four butterflies indicators showed no difference throughout three census methods. Based on the number of species and the total individuals butterflies in agroecosystem, we advocate for the application of line transect method as it can find more butterflies in agroecosystem. In addition, we advised for the implementation of education programs on the line transect method in butterfly identification to participants of the national monitoring program.
