Daegu Suseong-gu Office Installs Fence to Prevent Roadkill of Toads at Mangwolji
[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Koo Dae-seon] Suseong-gu, Daegu, will install toad roadkill prevention fences on the 7th at Mangwolji in Uksu-dong, the largest toad collective spawning site in the country.
The installation section is a 450m stretch from Mangwolji to the entrance of the Uksusan hiking trail. More than 60 people, including Suseong-gu Office and the Nature Conservation Suseong-gu Council, will participate in joint public-private nature conservation activities.
Members of Daegu Suseong-gu Office and the Suseong-gu Council for Nature Protection installed fences last year at Mangwolji to prevent toad roadkill.

This has been carried out annually since a large-scale toad spawning site was discovered at Mangwolji in April 2007.
