Josh said, 鈥淎s part of my PhD research with UCL Geography and on opportunities for the transboundary conservation of Amur tigers (Panthera聽tigris聽tigris) and other large carnivores in North-East Asia, I am a visiting research student at , in South Korea.

鈥淚n June 2021, while in South Korea, I had the opportunity to visit聽Jirisan聽National Park to learn more about an ongoing聽programme聽to restore a self-sustaining, wild Asiatic black bear, or moon bear, population to the country. Of course, restoring a large carnivore population is not as simple as just releasing animals into the wild.
