"Stop Toad Roadkills"... Daegu Suseong-gu Installs Fence at Nation's Largest Spawning Site

Daegu Suseong-gu (District Mayor Kim Dae-kwon) will hold a fence installation event on the 6th at 2 p.m. at Mangwolji in Uksu-dong, Suseong-gu, Daegu, the largest toad breeding site in the country, to prevent toad roadkill.

The fence installation is carried out annually from February to March to secure a safe passage for adult toads moving down from their habitat in Uksusan to Mangwolji for breeding.

The event for installing toad roadkill prevention fences held last year at Mangwolji, Uksu-dong, Suseong-gu, Daegu.

This year, more than 50 people, including Suseong-gu office officials and members of the Nature Conservation Suseong-gu Council, will participate in a public-private joint effort. Fences will be installed along a 300m section from Mangwolji to the entrance of the Uksusan hiking trail, and a nature conservation campaign will also be conducted.

Daegu Suseong-gu expects this to be a valuable experience opportunity to raise awareness among local residents about the importance of protecting the toad breeding site and conserving the natural environment.

Kim Dae-kwon, Mayor of Suseong-gu, said, “From February, the toad breeding season, until the end of May when the young toads move, we will regularly check the water level and sluice gate status of Mangwolji and continuously carry out monitoring activities against fence damage and water pollution.”
