This sponsorship will be used for the protection and research activities of five endangered natural monument species—otters, red-crowned cranes, Korean perch, longhorn beetles, and Reeves' turtles—as well as for the operation of a university student natural monument guardian group and volunteer activities for employees and their families.


On the same day, an inauguration ceremony was held for 40 university students who will participate in the 'Natural Monument Guardian Group' and contribute to natural heritage conservation activities.
