Do people hunt in South Korea?

Hunting is generally not practiced or permitted as a recreational activity in South Korea. The country has strict laws and regulations concerning wildlife protection and hunting, aiming to conserve its biodiversity and protect wildlife species. There are limited exceptions and specific cases in which hunting may be allowed, such as for population control of certain animals or for obtaining necessary resources by indigenous people. However, these exceptions are tightly controlled and regulated by the government to minimize any negative impact on wildlife populations. Most of South Korea's land is densely populated, and the remaining natural habitats are typically protected or managed for conservation purposes, making recreational hunting largely prohibited.
