The 'Baekdu Mountain Tiger' symbolizes our nation. But now we can not see this tiger in China and Russia which are close to Korean peninsula as well as our country. This is because the pine forest, which was a habitat, has disappeared with indiscreet development.

The Korea Forestry Agency promoted the destruction of this ecosystem. Since 2016, we have also created and implemented a Korean forest certification system.

"I judge by seeing whether it is not polluting the environment in the process of making products in the mountains, making the labor structure good, and creating regional jobs as well as cultivating beautiful forests."
- Officials of Korea Forestry Agency

If more people become interested in reviving the forests with more forest-certified products in the future, can not the 'Baekdu Mountain Tiger' come back to us?
