The city of Cheongju, South Korea, has installed trapping devices at Wonheung Ibangduk, a pond within the Seowon-gu Frog Ecological Park, to address the issue of invasive turtle species. The initiative, announced on November 11th, aims to control the population of non-native turtles impacting the local ecosystem. Details regarding the specific turtle species targeted were not immediately available. City officials have not yet released information on the long-term plan for the captured turtles, or the extent of the invasive turtle problem at the park. This action represents a focused effort to protect the native biodiversity of the area. The installation of these traps is the latest measure taken by Cheongju to manage ecological concerns within its parks and natural spaces.
