This year, Changwon has received good news related to the restoration of the urban ecosystem. It was explained that migratory fish species such as sweetfish and salmon, which inhabit clear waters, were discovered in urban streams like Changwoncheon and Namcheon, and toads inhabit the Ramsar Ecological Park, prompting the public, private, industry, and academia sectors to sign a mutual business agreement to systematically protect the urban ecosystem.
