“…맹꽁이는 Kaloula 속에 속하는 양서류로는 우 리나라에서 유일하게 한 종이 서식하고 있으며 (Ko et al 2011) 각종 개발과 농약의 사용으로 현재 전국의 개체군의 크기 및 서식지가 크게 감소하고 있어 멸종 위기야생생물 II 급으로 지정･관리하고 있다. 따라서 맹꽁이의 절멸 방지를 위해서 맹꽁이에 대한 서식처 복원 연구가 절실히 필요하다 (Shim et al 2014).…”

Narrow-mouth frog (Kaloula borealis) is the only amphibian species of genus Kaloula living in South Korea. They are designated and managed as endangered class II wildlife by the Ministry of Environment, Korea. Therefore, there is a desperate need of a habitat restoration study to prevent the extinction of narrow-mouth frog. This study is primarily for the purpose of presenting the direction and practical applications to restore damaged narrow-mouth frog habitats or to suggest alternative habitat options. The habitat suitability index (HSI) of narrow-mouth frog was applied to the research area in Mokpo City of Jeollanam-do Province, in order to present a new narrow-mouth frog habitat. We analyzed the research area based on historical contexts, ecological environment, ecology, and habitat requirements. The research area was divided into the core, buffer, and transition zones according to UNESCO MAB (Man and Biosphere) to establish local land-use plans. As for the foundation of the plan, we divided the habitat composition of the core, where narrow-mouth frog live in, into wetland (spawning area), grassland (shelter and feeding grounds), and forestland (feeding ground). We had a comparative analysis of habitat suitability in pre and post planning of narrow-mouth frog habitat restoration. For the validation study of habitat restoration plans, the future research should be on the composition of test-bed, continuous monitoring, and scientific habitat maintenance. KEYWORDS:
