On May 18, the Hanns Seidel Foundation and Konrad Adenauer Foundation Korea office operated a tour program of Janghang Wetland and Aegibong Peak with the delegation of the state parliament from Baden-Württemberg.
Janghang Wetland, located in Goyang City, is part of the DMZ and is a Ramsar Wetland and an East Asian-Australasian Flyway Partnership (EAAFP) network site. The conservation activities from the Hanns Seidel Foundation Korea office in Korean Peninsula, including the Janghang Wetland, contribute to maintaining biodiversity and further reconciliation and cooperation between North and South Korea.
Participants learned about the ecology of the DMZ, which combines birds, plants, crabs, and microorganisms in the Janghang wetland, and felt the division of the Korean Peninsula while looking at North Korea from the Aegibong Peace Ecopark Jogang Observatory.

Through a luncheon, prepared by Goyang City, participants exchanged opinions on promoting cooperation in the future for wetland conservation and climate change.
This visit was an opportunity to enhance the importance of peace on the Korean Peninsula that could be maintained and promoted through wetland conservation.
