Gokseong-gun Receives Korea Environmental Contribution Award in Commemoration of Environment Day
[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Heo Seon-sik] Gokseong-gun, Jeollanam-do (Governor Yoo Geun-gi) announced on the 22nd that it won the Grand Prize in the County Government category at the 2021 Korea Environmental Contribution Awards commemorating Environment Day.
Gokseong-gun was recognized for its achievements in three areas: environmental conservation, Green New Deal projects, and fine dust reduction. In the environmental conservation sector, the restoration projects for the damaged Chimsil Wetlands (16 billion KRW) and the Dongak Mountain ecological corridor (habitat) (8 billion KRW) were highlighted as major accomplishments. The Chimsil Wetlands restoration project is an ongoing effort to restore wetlands damaged by development. The Dongak Mountain ecological corridor (habitat) restoration project aims to restore areas where wildlife habitat connectivity was disrupted due to urban development. This award acknowledges Gokseong-gun’s diverse efforts toward ecological restoration.
In the Green New Deal project sector, the undergrounding of power lines in Seokgok-myeon (2.5 billion KRW) was praised for improving the clean surrounding environment. By undergrounding the power lines along the school route to Seokgok Elementary School, students can now commute in a safer and cleaner environment.
In the fine dust reduction sector, the fine dust blocking forest creation project (3 billion KRW) received positive evaluations. This project involved creating a fine dust blocking forest on idle land between the Gyeom-myeon industrial complex and the Ok-gwa residential area, improving air quality in living spaces. This not only provided residents with a resting area but also achieved a twofold benefit.
