Dongbaekdongsan is located in the unique ‘Gotjawal’ forest in the Jeju-do province, South Korea.

It further reveals its significance since it protects wild life and is the habitat of the national and world's important species.

Donbaekdongsan wetland supports the nationally endangered species first level including falco peregrinus.

Also, Gotjawal lava which is formed by volcanic activities has high transmissibility and thus takes the role of the Jeju groundwater recharger.

Since the Dongbaekdongsan wetland is the habitat for many nationally and internationally endangered species, it has been recognized for the importance and value of scientific research in 1981.
