Endangered animals and unique flora are thriving in the 160-mile-long strip of border land that has been largely deserted by humans for decades.
A total of 6,168 wildlife species have created a home in the DMZ area, where landmines buried underground are a reminder of the Korean War that ended in armistice some 70 years ago.
“After the Korean War, the DMZ had minimal human interference for over 70 years, and the damaged nature recovered on its own,” the Google project site said. “As a result, it built up a new ecosystem not seen around the cities and has become a sanctuary for wildlife.”National Institute of Ecology / The striking images offer a look behind the curtain of life without humans in the zone, where 38% of Korea’s 267 endangered species live.
