In April Juche 101 (2012), he saw to it that the period from March to July every year was set as the one for protection of useful animals and the whole party, the entire state and all the people take active part in the protection work in the period.

At the 5th Plenary Meeting of the 7th Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea, he ensured that a decision was adopted for each province of the country to breed roe deer, pheasant and other animals and set them free in mountains and give them extra feed in autumn for their propagation.

In February 2020, he urged the provinces to set as sanctuaries for useful animals such favorable zones consisting of flatland with lots of trees, shrubs and abundant water resources and hillocks where roads can be laid in a loop way.

At the First Short Course for Chief Secretaries of City and County Party Committees held in March last year, he underlined the need for the provincial, city and county Party committees to build sanctuaries for useful animals and feeding grounds so as to increase the number of useful animals in a responsible manner.

He also took a step to make officials visit the areas where many useful animals are propagated and learn from the experience.
