"Getbol, Korean Tidal Flats" UNESCO’s World Heritage List
The "Getbol, Korean Tidal Flats" property has been successfully inscribed on UNESCO’s World Heritage List. The World Heritage Committee decided to enter these tidal flats in the southwest of the Korean Peninsula onto the World Heritage List on the evening of July 26 local time at its 44th session(which was held online). It now joins the 14 other World Heritage Sites located in the Republic of Korea.
The Getbol is a serial property comprised of four components sites spanning five municipal governments: the Seocheon Getbol (Seocheon County in Chungcheongnam-do Province), Gochang Getbol (Gochang County in Jeollabuk-do Province), Sinan Getbol (Sinan County in Jeollanam-do Province), and Boseong-Suncheon Getbol (Boseong County and Suncheon City in Jeollanam-do Province).
The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), one of the advisory bodies to the World Heritage Committee responsible for examining natural heritage properties, released its evaluation report on the Getbol this past May. In it, the IUCN recognized the global significance of the Getbol for its contribution to biodiversity, but deferred recommending nomination prior to a major revision that would include the addition of further areas to both the property and its buffer zone.
For its part, the World Heritage Committee elected to inscribe the Getbol on the World Heritage List in recognition of its irreplaceable role in biodiversity conservation. The committee members recognized the Outstanding Universal Value of the Getbol as one of the world's most important stopover sites for migratory birds. While deciding on the inscription, the World Heritage Committee recommended that the State Party submit an additional nomination including further areas and prepare an integrated management system, both for consideration at the 48th session of the committee. It additionally suggested ongoing close cooperation with the international community regarding the protection of threatened migratory birds.
The Cultural Heritage Administration is fully committed to the timely implementation of these recommendations while making its best efforts to ensure that measures for the conservation of nature coexist in harmony with local needs for appropriate development.
