Resource summary
Ansan has all kinds of habitats such as forests, wetlands, rivers and oceans for each type of organism, and also many protected species such as those endangered and indigenous. The city, however, also has an old national industrial complex, and the central government is leading large-scale development projects over the long term in the area, and this is feared to cause environmental pollution and threaten biodiversity. Nevertheless, Ansan City is putting efforts to promote environment-friendly ecological policies to become “a global eco-city of the environment and culture.”
