The Korea Sports Promotion Foundation will operate the "Olympic Park Biodiversity Exploration Program with Citizens."

Through this program, established following its membership in "Sport for Nature," a joint initiative by the International Olympic Committee and the International Union for Conservation of Nature, the Korea Sports Promotion Foundation plans to work toward practicing ESG management and enhancing the sustainability of Olympic Park for future generations.

The program will be conducted until November using "NATURE Ring," a citizen science platform where citizens directly observe and record organisms. Participants will record and share the animals and plants they observe in the park, collectively building up biological information about the park.

On the 24th (Saturday), the Korea Sports Promotion Foundation held a launch ceremony with 21 citizens and conducted an exploration together with experts in birds, insects, and plants. Subsequently, citizen-led autonomous explorations will continue until mid-November, and the program is scheduled to conclude at the end of November with an event to share the exploration results.

A representative from the Korea Sports Promotion Foundation, in a phone interview with this outlet, stated, "Olympic Park is a legacy of the 1988 Seoul Olympics and a precious natural space within the city."
