Changwon Special City Supports Installation of Wildlife Damage Prevention Facilities

Applications Accepted at Administrative Welfare Centers in Land Locations Until February 15

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Song Jong-gu] Changwon Special City in Gyeongnam announced on the 16th that it will promote the ‘2023 Wildlife Damage Prevention Facility Installation Support Project’ to prevent crop damage caused by wild animals such as wild boars and water deer.

This project supports the installation of wildlife damage prevention facilities such as electric and wire fences, providing 60% of the installation cost per farm (up to 10 million KRW, with 40% self-payment).

Farmers wishing to apply can submit their applications to the administrative welfare centers of the relevant eup, myeon, or dong in the farmland location by February 15.

Changwon Special City in Gyeongnam supports the installation of facilities to prevent damage caused by wild animals.

Eligible applicants are farmers who have cultivated land in Changwon Special City. Selection will be made considering factors such as whether damage compensation was applied for within the last three years, whether applicants from the previous year were not selected, installation costs, and the area of the installation site.

Last year, the city supported 89 farming households with 190 million KRW to complete the installation of damage prevention facilities.

Mayor Hong Nam-pyo said, “We will promptly promote the project to complete installations in the first half of the year to enhance the effectiveness of wildlife damage prevention facilities,” and added, “We will continue to strive to help ensure safe agricultural activities and increase farm income.”
