Dear MEL Topic Readers,
The Koreas' DMZ: Once a bloodshed scene, now a wildlife sanctuary
The Korean Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) is a border barrier that divides the Korean peninsula roughly in half. It was established as a buffer zone between North Korea and South Korea under the Korean Armistice Agreement in 1953. The DMZ is 250 kilometers long from east to west around the 38th parallel north. The 4-kilometer-wide demilitarized zone is one of the world’s most heavily militarized borders and has been a deadly place for humans, making habitation impossible, which has ironically created an involuntary park recognized as one of the most well-preserved areas of temperate habitat in the world. Now, Google Street View features 360-degree views of landscapes and life inside the civilian control line, just outside the DMZ.

70 years of nearly complete isolation has made the DMZ the most uninhabited area for humans but the most well-preserved sanctuary for flora and fauna in the Korean Peninsula.
Enjoy reading the article and learning about what the Korean DMZ is for nature.
