  • Korea – 27 July – 8 August 2009
    Geomunoreum Jeju Island, Republic of Korea – 27 July – 8 August 2009 Natural site The site: Jeju Volcanic Island and Lava Tubes together comprise three sites that make up 18,846 ha. It includes Geomunoreum, regarded as the finest lava tube system of caves anywhere, with its multicoloured carbonate roofs and floors, and dark-coloured lava walls; the fortress-like Seongsan Ilchulbong tuff cone, rising out of the ocean, a dramatic landscape; and Mount Hallasan, the highest in Korea, with its waterfalls, multi-shaped rock formations, and lake-filled crater. The site, of outstanding aesthetic beauty, also bears testimony to the history of the planet, its features and processes. The Geomunoreum lava tube system, which is regarded as the finest such cave system in the world, has an outstanding visual impact even for those experienced with such phenomena. The project and its objectives: Of the three World Heritage sites in Jeju Island – Geomunorem, Mt.Halla and Seongsan Ilchulbong (Sunrise Peak) – the Geomunorem is still relatively unknown to the non-specialists, despite its indubitable attractions. The main objective of the project will therefore be to promote the site towards a wider public through the presence and work of the international volunteers. While running awareness-raising actions with the local population about the interest and necessity to protect Geomunorem unique natural heritage site, the volunteers will also help demonstrating the value of non-formal education to the local and national authorities involved in the preservation of the site. The activities: During the two weeks of the camp, the international volunteers will run several activities for the promotion and conservation of Geomunoreum site.

Each area has a different evaluation frequency and management criteria. The international protected areas in Jeju are also famous tourist attractions, attracting about ten million visitors a year.

  • Jeju Island, South Korea
    Jeju Island, South Korea View of Seongsan Ilchulbong (Volcanic Cone) in Jeju Island. Jeju Island or Jeju-do is a popular vacation destination for both resident Koreans and visitors to the country. This volcanic island in the south-west of South Korea attracts tourists for its pristine beaches, stunning highland landscape, and distinctive culture. It has recently, in 2011, received the recognition for being one of the New Seven Wonders of Nature in the World. Owing to the fact that Jeju-do was separated from the South Korean mainland, it has been able to preserve its own culture and characteristic dialect, which is quite distinct to the modern South Korea. It is famously known for three things – women (for their importance in society), rocks (for the uniquely carved black “grandfather stones” scattered throughout the island), and wind (for the constant ocean gusts all round the year). The island impresses its visitors with natural sites like beaches, rocky cliffs, volcanic mountains, caves, and waterfalls. In addition, Jeju-do has some extremely fascinating museums. Jeju Attractions Hallasan Situated almost at the center of the island, the Hallasan or Mount Halla is a famous hiking destination for adventure enthusiasts. It is shaped in the form of a shield, and has a long history of volcanic activity. Owing to its vertical ecosystem, comprising more than 1,800 plant species and about 4,000 animal species, Halla Mountain is a designated national park. It is also known by the name Mt. Yeongjusan. Its hiking courses include Yeongsil, Gwaneumsa, Seongpanak, Eoseungsaengak, and Eorimok. These trails are fairly easy and can be completed within a day.
