    ABSTRACT
    Most amphibian species are declining, and while the causes of such decline are multiple, environmental pollution is one of the most important. Bombina orientalis Boulenger, 1890 (Amphibia Anura Bombinatoridae), is known to be sensitive to pollution. However, we report here that the species breeds in highly polluted water within the city of Vladivostok, Russia. The species was found at the same site for two consecutive years, although in lower numbers in the second year. The resilience of B. orientalis to pollution is not consistent with other populations within the range of the species, and is therefore important in the frame of conservation.

    Policy recommendation on whaling, trade and watching of cetaceans (Mammalia Cetacea) in the Republic of Korea

    ABSTRACT
    Most of the cetacean (Mammalia Cetacea) species are endangered due to various past human activities and most of these species are still under threat due to the same reason. We recommend the development of policies regarding whaling, trading and watching of cetaceans in the Republic of Korea. We recommend the restriction of trade in marine mammals, whether for human consumption or for entertainment purposes, and the development and adoption of ethical rules for marine mammal watching activities.
