Jirisan National Park (Korean: 지리산국립공원; Hanja: 智異山國立公園) is a national park in South Korea, located on the boundaries of Jeollanam-do, Jeollabuk-do, and Gyeongsangnam-do. It is also located bordering the towns of Namwon, Gurye, and Hamyang. Jirisan was the first park to be designated as a national park in South Korea, in 1967. It is also the largest terrestrial national park in the country with an emphasis on biodiversity conservation, a well-known conservation programme on the Asiatic black bear and a pioneering restoration programme on damaged areas by overuse.
