The Korean Demilitarised Zone, known for its fortified borders, has unexpectedly emerged as a sanctuary for diverse wildlife. This area has largely evaded the effects of urbanization and agriculture, allowing rare species such as musk deer and leopards to flourish. Additionally, migratory birds have discovered refuge in the zone's wetlands and rice fields, thanks to ongoing conservation initiatives and eco-tourism efforts aimed at safeguarding this remarkable ecosystem.
