Abstract

Gotjawal forest refers to the forest covering the rocky area of "AA Lava" on Jeju Island of South Korea. In this article it is shown that Gotjawal forest is an internationally important wetland under the Ramsar Convention. Gotjawal forest should be regarded as a wetland because it is a subterranean hydrological system, which is classified as wetland under the Ramsar Convention. And Gotjawal forest is an internationally important wetland because it is the representative wetland type of Jeju region with hydrological importance, and because it supports rare species of plants.

곶자왈 숲이란 대한민국 제주도에 있는 "아아 용암"이라는 바위 지대 위에 형성된 숲을 가리킨다. 이 논문에서 곶자왈 숲이 람사협약상 국제적으로 중요한 습지임이 밝혀진다. 곶자왈 숲은 람사협약에서 습지의 한 종류로 규정하고 있는 지하수시스템이므로 람사협약상 습지로 간주되어야 한다. 또한 곶자왈 숲은 수문학적 중요성을 가지고 있는 제주도의 대표적인 습지유형이며 희귀식물들의 자생지이므로 국제적으로 중요한 습지이다.
