Songaksan Soil Restoration Project, Jeju
A case of building the foundation for soil stabilization and vegetation recovery in a strictly protected area by relying on nature's own recovery capacity.
Songaksan, a strictly protected area in Jeju, remained difficult to restore naturally even after disturbance. In this project, Code of Nature minimized artificial intervention and focused on stabilizing the soil and creating the conditions for native vegetation to re-establish by working with the site's natural recovery processes.
Restoration Results
Achieved over ground cover
Improved NDVI by more than
Improved soil physicochemical properties by more than
Established the foundation for native vegetation settlement
The significance of this project goes beyond achieving numerical targets. What matters more is that the conditions were created for soil and vegetation to continue recovering on their own. This shows that the site has moved beyond short-term restoration toward a state where natural recovery mechanisms can keep functioning over time.
