Upo Wetland is a complex of common wetlands situated in Changnyeong County, South Korea, close to the Nakdong River. It is situated in parts of Yueo-myeon, Ibang-myeon and Daehap-myeon. It gets its name from the biggest of the wetlands, Upo. Different wetlands in the complex incorporate Mokpo, Sajipo and Jjokjibeol wetlands. The mind boggling all in all spreads 2.13 km2, and is the

It is one of eight Ramsar wetlands in the nation and one of the official going to locales for the tenth Meeting of the Conference of the Contracting Parties that was held in Changwon, Korea in October, 2008.Upo is home to various jeopardized, debilitated and uncommon species. Taking into account a 1997 study, the wetland is accepted to be home to a sum of 342 imperiled or undermined species: 168 types of plants, 62 types of winged animals, 55 types of arthropods, 28 types of fish, 12 types of warm blooded creatures, 7 types of reptiles, 5 types of creatures of land and water, and 5 types of molluscs.

The most popular uncommon plant found here is the thorny lotus (Euryale ferox). An especially noted feathered creature species is the dark confronted spoonbill. Upo gives environment to extensive quantities of vagrant flying creatures, including other uncommon species, for example, the white-naped crane and taiga bean goose. A remarkable reptile animal varieties is the Reeves' turtle.

The vast majority of Upo has been secured subsequent to 1997, and is currently some portion of the Upo Ecological Park. On the other hand, agrarian and angling action still happens on the wetland.
