“…The evaluation was based on the trained indicators to assess the positive or negative contribution. It also comprehensively assessed the plurality of benefits a wetland provides that can be consid-ered, involving limited resources in McInnes and Everard (2017), Kim et al (2019) and Kim et al (2021), who used similar research methodologies. It provided a detailed qualitative assessment presented as a method that meets the needs of wetland sites supporting the development of wetland management at the local level in DPRK.…”

The understanding of ecosystem services can be quantified and qualitative to assess the impacts of changes in the ecosystem to support human well-being. In the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, sustainable use of ecosystem services has attracted the interest of a range of decision-makers. However, although there is a concern for biodiversity, natural ecosystem, and their services, linking ecosystems with conservation planning remains challenging. Results: This study assessed the first qualitative ecosystem services provided by the Mundok wetland with decision makers of the West/Yellow Sea region. Furthermore, this study applied the Rapid Assessment Wetland Ecosystem method to support natural resources management, improving living conditions. We identified that cultural and supporting services index are highly provided, but preparing a plan to increase the provisioning and regulating services in Mundok wetland is necessary. Conclusions: The assessment results can provide helpful information for ecosystem services assessment, habitat conservation, conservation planning, and decision-making at local level.
