Korean Otter Research Center and Association of Otter Conservation. Otters in Korea have been killed all over the world for their pelts, including the Korean peninsula. Habitat loss continues to put enormous pressure on nearly all otter populations. The Eurasian otter (Lutra lutra)has been declared a Natural Monument in ROK as well as being listed as an endangered species. Since 1999, these two agencies have been undertaking work and research to protect and ensure the long-term sustainability of the Korean otter.
