Mission

The Korean Mountain Preservation League is committed to work as a non-governmental, non-profit organization to help preserve Korea's highlands. Through campaigns, collaboration with other NGOs, and education and practice of the minimal impact code, it is our goal to ensure the natural integrity of Korea's mountains, their ecology, their cultural heritage, and their remarkable splendour. Through these policies our ultimate aim is to put ourselves out of business.

The Korean Mountain Preservation League was developed for the purpose of mountain conservation. Our primary prerogative is to work for the preservation of Korea's mountain environments. As a non-profit NGO, the KMPL relies heavily on member support and donations.

The monies received by the KMPL are allocated for funding expeditions. These expeditions put KMPL members and volunteers on mountains where the mountaineers clean trash from the environment. The trash collected is completely removed from the mountain and properly disposed of. Recyclable materials are removed separately and recycled.

In order to gain support for our mission the KMPL must make its actions known. What we do is hard, dirty, yet very necessary work and we greatly need the public's assistance. Through campaigns and advertising we hope to spread environmentalist education to the broader, concerned public.

By working closely with other concerned groups, the KMPL is committed to the difficult task at hand: to gain public support; to lobby against the government's decisions that aim to weaken mountain ecology; and to keep the mountains pristine and biologically diverse. We are committed so that Korea's prosterity may enjoy their rights to a naturally wondrous, and mountainous, homeland.
