South Korea is no stranger to major forest fires, which can result in damage to the soil of the earth that requires more than 100 years for it to recover to its original level.

To this end, the Eastern Seoul Branch of the Shincheonji Volunteer Group (hereinafter referred to as the Eastern Seoul Branch) has been actively working to raise awareness of the causes and effects of forest fire and the need for prevention by holding various forest fire campaigns in areas prone to forest fires.

On the 26th, the Eastern Seoul Branch launched the 'Green Nature' forest fire prevention campaign at the entrance of the Suraksan Mountain hiking trail in Nowon District.

In this campaign, the Eastern Seoul Branch focused on raising citizens’ awareness of forest fire prevention through forest fire common sense quiz, guidance on the ecosystem recovery period in forest fire-stricken areas, promotion of forest fire prevention rules, activities to prohibit possession of flammable materials, and more.

In the words of an official from the Eastern Seoul Branch, “Once a forest fire breaks out, it can cause massive damage to nature and loss of life. It is important for everyone to be alert and take action so that a little carelessness does not lead to a major disaster.”

This activity was carried out as part of Shincheonji Volunteer Group's nationwide 'Green Nature' campaign, which aims to preserve a beautiful and clean natural environment for posterity.
