This relay campaign, jointly planned by the Ministry of Health and Welfare and the Korea Human Resource Development Institute for Health and Welfare, started nationwide in October last year targeting local governments, public institutions, and companies to spread interest in population issues based on the declaration, "Let children be happy, youth nurture hope, and the elderly live a fulfilling life in Korea."

Yeoncheon County, a region experiencing population decline, recognizes the seriousness of population decrease and local extinction and is implementing various policies to respond to local extinction.

In particular, to increase the resident population, the county is promoting projects such as △ the creation of the World Ecological Peace Garden including the Imjingang Dapsari Garden △ the establishment of the largest pet theme park in the metropolitan area △ the construction of the National Yeoncheon Memorial Cemetery △ and the Yeoncheon BIX Green Bio Cluster project.

Kim Deok-hyun, governor of Yeoncheon County, said, "Awareness of population issues is directly connected to our future," adding, "To make Yeoncheon County a city where everyone wants to live, we will actively promote policies that utilize Yeoncheon’s unique characteristics to improve living conditions and revitalize the region."
