In the DPRK, the work for conserving nature and national heritages has been conducted under the special care of the Workers’ Party of Korea and the DPRK government. In the course, treasures of the country were registered at the UNESCO (the UN Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization).
The Paektusan Biosphere Sanctuary covers Mt Paektu and the vast area around it.
Since the area of Mt Paektu was set as the Paektusan Plant Reserve in April Juche 35 (1946), it has been preserved under the care of the state. The area was listed as a World Network of Biosphere Reserves by the UNESCO in April Juche 78(1989).
In the area there are strata of various periods ranging from the lower-Proterozoic era to the Cenozoic era. The geology and topography of Mt Paektu, formed by several times of volcanic eruption and its evolution and development, and plants, animals, Lake Chon, etc. present a peculiar natural environment rare to be seen not only in the DPRK but also in other regions of the world.
The Paektusan Biosphere Sanctuary in the highest zone of the DPRK has various kinds of plants according to climatic zones as well as lots of animals, birds and other vertebrates and invertebrates acclimated to severe climate and geological and geographical surroundings that remind one of a natural zoo.
The work for protecting biodiversity has been positively conducted in the Paektusan Biosphere Sanctuary under the great interests of the state.
