AJ Networks Creates 'AJ Classroom Forest No. 2' to Foster Future Environmental Leadership

Provision of Excellent Air-Purifying Plants and Endangered Species to Munjeong Elementary School in Seoul

AJ Networks announced on the 19th that it has established the ‘AJ Classroom Forest No. 2’ to raise awareness among growing children about the risks of ecosystem destruction and to conserve endangered plants.

AJ Networks’ Classroom Forest project was planned in response to the increasing severity of fine dust, which has led to many days when children cannot go outside and play freely. In May last year, the company created ‘AJ Classroom Forest No. 1’ at Sungnye Elementary School in Seoul.

The AJ Classroom Forest No. 2 was established on the 18th at Munjeong Elementary School in Songpa-gu, Seoul. Twenty AJ Networks employees volunteered to visit Munjeong Elementary and, in collaboration with the social enterprise Triple Planet Co., Ltd., planted a total of 390 air-purifying excellent plants and endangered plants to create classroom forests for 15 classes.

The biodiversity conservation kit, composed of air-purifying plants selected by NASA such as ‘Areca Palm’ and endangered plants like ‘Pachyoil-yeop,’ is expected to have environmental educational effects, including absorbing fine dust inside classrooms and naturally changing students’ environmental awareness through interaction with plants.

AJ Networks also plans to donate baby saplings in the same quantity as the potted plants placed in the classrooms. The donated baby saplings will be grown in nurseries and later planted in the natural habitats of endangered species or other necessary locations.

An AJ Networks official stated, "By improving environmental awareness regarding biodiversity conservation and climate crisis response, we will continue to establish classroom forests in many schools to foster sustainable environmental leadership."
