“새만금 내부 도로, 법정 보호종 서식지 파괴...담당기관 서로 책임 미뤄”

An internal road project in Csanamjeom is being criticized for destroying ecological habitats and wasting funds. Environmental groups have called for the project to be halted. The Csanamjeom Jingang River Water Supply Coordination Committee stated that the project would cut through the core habitats of protected species. They argue that existing outer roadways should be utilized instead of a new inner road.

A survey group found endangered species such as cranes and herons in the area. However, the provincial environmental agency and Csanamjeom Development Committee have reportedly avoided taking responsibility for the current situation. The environmental agency suggested checking with the developer first, while the developer claimed the issue lies with the environmental agency and refused to visit the site.

The survey group demanded that officials visit the site, examine the protected species, and halt construction. They also called for a review of the project plan, suggesting an alternative route using outer roads instead of the inner road.
