South Korea's Korea Arboretum and Gardens Institute (KoAGI) is partnering with private companies to turn corporate environmental, social and governance (ESG) commitments into measurable biodiversity and forest restoration projects. Together with Hyundai Motor Group and researchers from Seoul National University, the institute developed the K-Seed Ball, a seed ball intended for aerial distribution. In June, a test was carried out in Uljin, North Gyeongsang Province, where drones dropped the seeds over 20 hectares of forest damaged by wildfire. KoAGI is also developing ecological projects with cryptocurrency exchange operators including Dunamu, and has launched a three-year restoration plan in the Cheongsong area together with Hope Bridge, Korea Disaster Relief Association. KoAGI head Shim Sang-taek said companies need to participate in the full restoration process and be able to see actual outcomes, rather than simply providing funds. Under the arrangement, corporate ESG commitments are linked directly to field operations and verifiable results.
