[앵커]

Tomorrow is World Water Day.

Before Water Day, a large-scale cleanup was carried out in the Mangyeong River area in Jeollabuk-do, a habitat for migratory birds.

Reporter Oh Jeom-gon covered it.

The Mangyeong River flows through Saemangeum Lake to the West Sea.

The vast colony of silvery rushes and grasses are spectacular, and are the feeding line of the Mangyeong field in Gimje and home to migratory birds.

In addition, this winter, dozens of storks, both a natural monument and a rare species around the world, come to visit it, making it an essential habitat for wild animals.

The wind is still a bit cold. It is a region in the upper reaches of the Mangyeong River, where the energy of the spring is full.

However, as you can see, the traces of last summer’s heavy rains are still everywhere.

In addition, the garbage left by fishermen and campers is scattered everywhere.

The so-called Mangyeong River cleanup event to remove these environmental pollutants was held one day before Water Day.

I couldn’t clean it up with dozens of people and hours of activity, but I also expected such a small effort to spread across the country.

A moment to realize the precious value that not only drinking water consumed directly by humans, but also water consumed by nature and animals is more important.

The theme for this year’s World Water Day is “Value of water, value of the future”.
