【North-East Asian Young Conservation Leadership Program (NEA-YCLP 2015) for Conservation and Rehabilitation of Habitats for endangered Black-faced Spoonbills (May 17-22)】 Delegation of 3 SPOON members visited Korea to take part in an environmentalist training program hosted by the ERF (Environmental Ecosystem Research Foundation), UNESCAP (United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific), and NEASPEC (North-East Asian Subregional Program for Environmental Cooperation). Many young environmentalists from east-Asia, such as Korea, Russia, Mongolia, China, HongKong, Japan participated as trainees. In the workshop, we visited Black-faced Spoonbill breeding places, DMZ (De-Militarized Zone), and Bukkannsan National Park near Seoul city. And there, we learned about the preservation in Korea, environment management in protected areas and the potential the migrating birds have in international relationship. And on the last day of the workshop, we visited the UNESCAP office in Songdo and every trainee presented their experiences and wrap up of the workshop.
