Current status of birds in the Nakdong River downstream ecological park

The estuary of the Nakdong River is the largest habitat for migratory birds in Korea, and it is an area with high conservation value due to its wide tidal flats and wetlands with high biodiversity and abundant fishery resources. However, many changes are taking place, such as the destruction of migratory bird habitats due to urban expansion and development. In this study, the role and impact of ecological parks are analyzed by analyzing the current status of birds in the Nakdong Estuary Ecological Park, and furthermore, it is intended to be used as data for ecological management. Migratory birds visiting the estuary of the Nakdong River use the ecological park, but the birds found in the ecological park had a high proportion of resident birds. Also, the species richness index and biodiversity index (species diversity) were lower in the ecological park compared to the Nakdong River estuary.
