Reintroduction programs have been promoted across the world to recover and rehabilitate endangered birds through ex situ captive breeding and releasing to the nature. The ultimate aims of these reintroduction programs are recovery of sustainable populations in natural habitats. To ensure the success of the reintroduction programs, it is necessary to examine the followings in order to increase the success rate of releasing along with the development of captive breeding techniques: 1) Adequate habitat provision, 2) adaptability of captive-bred individuals, 3) survivability of released individuals, and 4) social interest and will. Before releasing captive-bred individuals, it should be reviewed whether there are habitats in which the limiting factor is removed, and assessed their long-term safety. The quantity and quality of the released individuals must be considered to increase the chances for mate selection, maintain genetic diversity, and acquire the ability to adapt to the wild. The release method must be decided in consideration of characteristics of the target habitats and individuals, and rational means such as careful observation, evaluation, and feedback must be provided throughout the release process. For the long-term success of recovery projects, social awareness, sustainable support, and related experts are needed. Satisfying these criteria can help to increase the success rates of reintroduction programs. For the bird reintroduction program in the future, the feasibility of the methods and procedures must be closely reviewed before starting.

Currently, biodiversity conservation is regarded as one of the most important environmental issues in the 21st century. However, The educational approaches on biodiversity conservation is not actively developed. This study was conducted to develop the educational program on biodiversity conservation related with endangered species conservation for improving elementary and middle school girl students' knowledge on biodiversity, inspiring the value and importance of biodiversity, and improving the attitude toward the conservation of biodiversity. Because the biodiversity loss of wetlands such as rice-fields, rivers, marshes has made the breeding population of Oriental White Stork(Ciconia boyciana) endangered in Korea, this subject was very effective for students to learn the cause and effect of biodiversity loss realistically. The education program was conducted to 68 local elementary and middle girl students from 2007 to 2009 and consists of three main activities such as feeding on storks in captivity, sampling living organisms in rice-fields, and designing the future stork living village. The results didn't show a positive effect on improving the knowledge on the biodiversity, but a positive effect on improving the attitude toward the conservation of biodiversity. And the number of taxa that students noticed in rice-fields has increased significantly. In conclusion, this educational program promoted students to concern about and take up a positive attitude on the biodiversity conservation issue.

“The Regional complex long-term program of restoration (reintroduction) of Primoryes ginseng population up to 2005” elaborated by Primorye governor administration, Regional Committee of Natural Resources and Russian Academy of Sciences operates in Russian Primorye. The Institute of Biology and Soil Science (IBSS) provides the scientific implementation of the program including the genetic analysis of extant ginseng populations, plant reproduction and off-spring identification. According to our investigations, the genetic resource of P. ginseng in Primorye is represented by three populations of wild-growing ginseng and a few pritate plantations. The results obtained by RAPD allowed concluding that the resource is dispersed among the wild and cultivated ginseng sub-populations in such a way that each of sub-populations studied has to be represented as a stock material to maintain species genetic variability. The allozyme analyses also showed that the small sub-populations of wild ginseng are characterized by unique genetic diversity and, therefore, they all need to be represented in reintroduction centers. Additionally the allozyme analysis discovered that the Blue Mountain and Khasan populations possess the most genetic diversity. So, at least one more reproductive ginseng unit has to be created besides two already existing reintroduction centers representing the Sikhote-Alin and the Blue Mountain populations.

'The Regional complex long-term program of restoration (reintroduction) of Primoryes ginseng population up to 2005' elaborated by Primorye governor administration, Regional Committee of Natural Resources and Russian Academy of Sciences operates in Russian Primorye. The Institute of Biology and Soil Science (IBSS) provides the scientific implementation of this program including the genetic analysis of extant ginseng populations, plant reproduction and offspring identification. According to our investigations, the genetic resource of P. ginseng in Primorye is represented by three populations of wild-growing ginseng and a few private plantations. The results obtained by RAPD allowed concluding that this resource is dispersed among the wild and cultivated ginseng sub-populations in such a way that each of sub-populations studied has to be represented in living plant collection as a stock material to maintain species genetic variability. The allozyme analyses also showed that the small sub-populations of natural ginseng are characterized by unique genetic diversity and, therefore, they all need to be represented in reintroduction centers. Additionally the allozyme analysis discovered that the Blue Mountain and Khasan populations possess the most genetic diversity. So, at least one more reproductive ginseng unit has to be created besides two already existing reintroduction centers representing the Sikhote-Alin and the Blue Mountain populations.

To restore the Gold-spotted pond frog (Pelophylax chosenicus), a Korean endangered frog, 600 captive-reared individuals were reintroduced between August and September 2019 into an aquatic garden in the National Institute of Ecology where P. chosenicus had previously inhabited. After reintroduction, six post-release monitoring sessions were conducted from August 2019 to May 2020. Monitoring was performed using three methods (counting calls, observation, and capture) from sunset to midnight near release sites, eliminating potential threat factors. Snout-vent lengths and body weights of recaptured individuals were measured before they were released immediately. We noted that both snout-vent lengths and body weights of recaptured individuals were slightly higher than those before. The average recapture rate was 4.66%. Reintroduced frogs were recaptured at the last monitoring session conducted in May 2020, indicating that these reintroduced frogs hibernated during the winter successfully. We found that these reintroduced frogs successfully settled after release. This result will be useful for establishing management strategies for endangered frogs in Korea. Particularly, post-release monitoring could be an essential approach in the restoration program of a target species.

The purpose of this paper is to examine willingness to pay (WTP) for endangered species, the Korean goral, of Woraksan National Park in South Korea. The median of the WTP is adopted to estimate the value because it will not be affected by the extreme values. The estimated household median WTP using a logit model for Korean goral conservation in Woraksan National Park was 15,221 won. The estimated value of the WTP in relation to the Korean goral has some policy implications. especially in terms of implementing policy to protect the Korean goral. The result shows that the public conservation program does have a positive WTP for the conservation of the Korean goral. This implies that the Korean goral is an important species that needs to be maintained, the government has been expended a large sum of money in an attempt to protect it.

여우는 한국에서 1980년대 이후로 절멸된 것으로 취급하고 있으며, 현재는 환경부에서 멸종위기 1급 동물로 지정되어 소백산국립공원에서 복원사업이 이루어지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 여우복원사업에 필요한 적정 모델링과 방사 전략을 수립하기 위하여, VORTEX 프로그램을 이용한 개체군 생존력 분석(Population viability analysis: PVA)을 수행하였다. 초기 개체군 0에서 매년 10개체(암5, 수5)를 향후 10년간 지속적으로 방사할 경우, 개체군의 이입으로 50년간 개체군 성장률은 $0.018{\pm}0.204$였으며, 절멸확률은 0.354로 나타났다. 최초 방사 후 16년차에 116.34로 최대 개체군 크기를 보였으나, 17년차부터 매년 1.22의 감소율을 나타내었다. 방사된 여우의 지속적인 성장과 절멸을 방지하기 위해서는 최초 방사 17년 이후 추가적인 방사가 필요하며, 장기적인 여우 존속을 위해서는 매년 12개체 이상을 방사하는 것이 필요한 것으로 분석되었다. 반면 연간 6개체 이하일 경우 50년 후의 절멸 확률은 80% 이상으로 나타났으며, 최소한의 개체군 성장을 위해서는 8개체 이상의 추가 방사가 필요한 것으로 나타났다. 설정된 조건값에서 매년 10개체씩 암수의 성비를 변화하여 6:4 로 10년간 방사할 경우 1:1 비율보다 안정적인 개체군 성장률을 보였으나, 암컷의 비율이 7:3이상으로 높아질 경우 부정적인 결과를 보였다. 재난요인으로 설정된 road-kill과 밀렵은 여우복원사업의 성패에 중요한 요인으로 확인되었다. 초기 적용값을 기준으로 각각의 요인이 3% 감소할 경우에는 절멸 확률은 30%로 낮아졌으며, 3% 이상 증가할 경우 50년 후의 절멸 확률은 약 90%에 이르는 것으로 분석되었다.

Insecticide resistance is a serious is a serious threat to IPM, resulting in various adverse effects not to mention the loss of yield in agriculture. One approach to counter the problem is the disruption of resistance mechanisms. This can be achieved by (1) compounds which show a negative correlation with resistance at the site of action, (2) specific metabolic inhibitors which serve as synergists, or (3) a certain combination of two insecticides producing a joint action. This approach, however, requires certain precautions for the side effects may cause an increase in toxicity to mammals. Owing to the recent advances in theoretical studies on resistance management employing computer simulation and mathematical models, a few principles to reduce the risk of development of resistance have been clarified. They are helpful in designing operational strategies with regard to, for instance, insecticide doses to be applied, mode of application, and choice and nature of the insecticide(s) to be used. For restoration of insecticide susceptibility of a resistant population, reintroduction of susceptible individuals to the resistant population is feasible when certain conditions are met. Natural enemies which developed resistance to insecticides can be an important component of IPM as has been shown in the pest management in apple orchards. After all, the implementation of a successful resistance management program depends upon cooperation between different sigments of the agricutural community. Although resistance is a preadaptive phenomenon, in some cases spontaneous loss of resistance does occur without contamination by susceptible individuals. The instability of resistance in these insects implies the possible existence of a switch machanism controlling the expression of resistance gene(s). Elucidation of such a mechanism may eventually provide us with a new technical approach with which we can combat the problem of insecticide resistance.

어류의 시각적 및 화학적 정보를 토대로 포식자를 인지하는 능력은 개체가 자연에서 생활하는 동안 학습을 통해서 확보된다. 하지만 인공증식된 멸종위기종들의 경우 자연적응력 부족으로 인한 복원효율성 저하가 지속적으로 발생하고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 복원을 위해 인공증식된 멸종위기종 여울마자의 자연적응력 증진을 위해 포식자 인지 능력 증진을 수행하였다. 연구결과 포식자 인지 훈련 기간에 따라 자극원에 대한 반응성이 달라짐을 확인할 수 있었으며, 인공증식된 여울마자는 동종의 알람신호를 통해 위험을 인지하는 능력이 떨어져 있었으며, 이는 포식 위험원 노출을 통한 훈련으로 개선이 가능하였고, 포식자에 노출되었을 때 포식자와 알람신호에 동시에 노출 되었을 경우 훈련 기간이 길어짐에 따라 자극에 대한 반응성이 줄어드는 것을 확인하였다. 알람신호에 대한 반응은 시간이 지날수록 커지는 경향을, 포식자에 대한 반응은 훈련 48시간 후 가장 높은 반응을 보이고 72시간 후 반응성이 떨어지는 경향을, 알람신호와 포식자 동시 노출에 대한 반응은 훈련 이전 가장 높은 반응을 보인 뒤 반응성이 낮아진 채로 유지되는 경향을 보였다. 따라서 방류 전 인공증식 개체의 동종의 알람신호(화학적 자극)에 대한 반응성을 높이기 위한 프로그램이 필요하며, 포식자(시각적 자극)에 대한 반응성도 높게 나타난 48시간가량의 포식 위험원 노출이 적합하다고 판단된다. 본 실험을 통해 인공증식 여울마자의 동족 알람신호 자극에 대한 반응성 부족이 확인되었으며 멸종위기종 방류전 자연성 증진 프로그램의 운용의 필요성이 확인되었다.
