The DMZ between North and South Korea is a deadly place to go if you're human, but this means that it's become a bizarre paradise for all sorts of endangered animals.

I hope that if the two Koreas ever re-unify, that they are wise enough to turn this into the most magnificent national park in East Asia.

Only place on earth where red-crowned and white-named cranes winter together.

Also, note that while Asiatic black bears do live in the DMZ, there isn't enough of a prey base for tigers (there is enough of a prey base further south, but only because tigers got extirpated)

There's no tigers or leopards there. The Japanese and Koreans killed them all long before the DMZ was even established. However, I bet they could re-introduce some amur leopards and Siberian tigers. The DMZ is about 1, 000 km square, but there is to the south of it a "Civilian Control Zone" that is nearly as wild and is about 4 times the size of the DMZ, together they make up about 5, 000 km square which is large enough for the big cats.

I doubt unification would result in the destruction of the DMZ. They would of course build roadways in railways in between but the cost of removing all the ordinance would be immensely expensive.

I actively agree with the sacred and touching content.

The DMZ was the result of a long tug of war during the Korean conflict, and no doubt completely bombed out many times over. These rare species must all have come here after that time. That's only 70 years ago.

It seems the Sierra Club and other environmental activist organizations would be able to accomplish far more with the use of land mines.

The South Korean government had already greenlighted years ago the DMZ area as a Unesco Biosphere Reserve and World heritage site and would remain so even after a reunification. Ecological studies of the area have been taking place for over ten years now. The only thing stalling the South Korean Government's enactment of the Unesco Biosphere Reserve status is North Korea, which sees the action as undermining the philosophy of reunification in whatever position it sees with the issue.

Point being, your video to a certain extent, insults South Koreans as if they have no sense of nature preservation or a sense of duty for nature on their own territory. As if Koreans are somehow incapable of proper land stewardship, which seems bizarre considering their efforts with nature reserves in South Korea and healthy budgets for their park systems. This information was discovered using a minute or so on Google.
