Hamann Jilnal Wetland
- Address: 833-1, Ugeori, Beopsu-myeon, Hamann-gun, Gyeongnam
(Including 883-1, Daesong-ri)
Hello! Today, I would like to introduce the Hamann Jilnal Wetland, which has been designated as the second 'Excellent Wetland Representing the Province' in Gyeongsangnam-do. Located in Ugeori and Daesong-ri of Beopsu-myeon, the wetland stretches long from north to south, serving as a crucial ecological reserve that feeds into the Namgang River.
The information board detailed two key species that visitors are most curious about: the endangered wild species, the 'Greater White-fronted Goose,' which is a winter migratory bird, and the summer natural monument, the 'Spiny Water Lily.' These species represent the wetland in their respective seasons, and their presence is a vital indicator of the wetland's health. The Jilnal Wetland is the perfect spot to enjoy the breathtaking flocks of migratory birds throughout the four seasons.
The expansive wetland surface remains unfrozen, providing a perfect sanctuary for migratory birds. The scenery, where reeds and waterways blend, offers more than just beautiful landscapes; it is a fierce battleground for countless lives enduring harsh winters. The Jilnal Wetland boasts a vast area typical of back wetlands, and drone photos reveal its impressive scale.
Next to the wetland, a cozy forest trail has been established. This path serves as a buffer zone to protect the wetland's ecosystem while providing visitors with an excellent healing course to enjoy the phytoncides.
Finally, we encountered the stars of the Jilnal Wetland!
The sight of the flock of Greater White-fronted Geese that flew in from the Eurasian continent for winter was truly breathtaking. The scene of these endangered birds gathering in the wetland was a spectacle that could never be witnessed in urban areas.
To protect the beauty and ecological value of the Jilnal Wetland, the Hamann County is currently conducting the 'Beopsu Natural Ecological Wetland Restoration Project.' This initiative, which will continue until June 2027, aims to restore fragmented ecological networks and enhance biodiversity.
Preserving this natural heritage is a shared responsibility for all of us living in this generation. Let us all become guardians of the Jilnal Wetland to ensure that this beautiful landscape remains unchanged for the next 10 or even 100 years.
