Korean Mountaineering League

The Korean Mountaineering League (KML) is a non-profit non-governmental organization that focuses on the conservation of Korea's mountain environments. It was founded by Shawn James Morrissey, a mountaineer and author, who currently acts as the KML's president.

The KML's work includes: cleaning of littered trails and campsites; trail assessment; education of environmentally-safe mountaineering practices; and campaigns against government legistration that will affect the mountain environments of Korea.
