The 2025 Jeonju Moaksan Biodiversity Expedition, jointly organized by the Jeonbuk Special Self-Governing Province Sustainable Development Council and the Jeonbuk Forest of Life Foundation, was held on the 11th at the Moaksan Provincial Park in Jeonju.

This event, now in its 10th year, started in 2015 with the theme 'Find the Treasure of Geonji Mountain!' and has been held in various locations such as Imsil Seongsusan in 2016, Wanju Moaksan in 2017, Jinan Maisan in 2018, Kimje Moaksan in 2019, Gochang Sununsan in 2021, Wanju Daedunsan in 2022, Jinan Maisan in 2023, Wanju Moaksan in 2024, and this year at Moaksan Provincial Park in Jeonju.

On this day, about 70 participants including Kwak Dong-hee, the standing representative of the Jeonbuk Special Self-Governing Province Sustainable Development Council, officials from Jeonju City, Jeonju citizens, Jeonbuk residents, and experts, discovered a total of 408 species of organisms in seven categories including plants, insects, mammals, amphibians and reptiles, birds, fish, and fungi (mushrooms), confirming the biodiversity and ecological value of Moaksan in Jeonju.

In the WALK program, participants, divided into seven categories, conducted activities with experts to explore and observe species, followed by the TALK program where the discovered organisms were listed and studied in detail.

The Biodiversity Expedition is a scientific participatory activity where experts and the general public work together to find and list all species that can be confirmed with current knowledge.

Kwak Dong-hee, the standing representative of the Jeonbuk Special Self-Governing Province Sustainable Development Council, said, "As we celebrate the 10th year of the Biodiversity Expedition, it was a great opportunity to compile the species of Moaksan in Jeonju, Kimje, and Wanju," adding, "As climate change worsens, and not only species but also humans face the threat of extinction, I hope there will be more efforts to protect species."
