DMZ paradox

Natural History, Feb, 2007 by Howard S. Edelstein

I found Mary Mycio's essay "Chernobyl Paradox" [4/06] fascinating reading, all the more so because I had just returned from a trip to South Korea and the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) that separates South and North Korea. With nothing except watchtowers along the 2.5-mile-wide strip that divides the entire peninsula, fauna and flora thrive there. If the two countries become peacefully united, one hopes the area could be left as a nature preserve.
