We are living in an era of the most intensive natural environmental destruction the world has ever known, mainly caused by population increase and industrial development. The wetlands of Korea support a rich variety of birds including waterbirds and are internationally well- known visiting or wintering sites for migrant birds. However, many wetlands have been destroyed by a series of developments, such as reclamation for agriculture purposes or industrial complexes. The Saemanguem (Chollabukdo, Korea) project is the largest reclamation project the world has ever known. The project is driven by the government having a utilitarian standpoint. However, many papers have shown that the productivity of mud-flats is 3-5 times higher than that of agricultural land converted from the mudflat of wetlands. Why, then, is the government carrying out the project? This is because the government did not know the value of wetlands when the project was started. Peter Kalm said that he found everywhere the wisdom and goodness of the Creator: but too seldom saw any inclination among men to make use of them. Reclamation has led to a decrease in habitats of migratory birds, especially waders. Why should we save birds and fishes dwelling in wetlands? This is because the earth is the Lord`s, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it (Psalm 24:1), and God ordered man to rule over the fish of the sea and birds of the air and over every living creature that moves on the ground (Genesis 1:28). Lynn White Jr. pointed out that the problems of our ecologic crisis are problems of worldview, not merely of science or technology. Habitats of wildlife and natural environment God created were protected and we have to prepare a Noah` : Ark to rave all creation who live in the earth. To solve the impending global environmental crises, we have to establish christian world view to create a sustainable society. |
