		The demilitarized zone is one of the few places remaining anywhere on the Korean peninsula that hasn’t been taken over by humans—to the detriment of the environment.
		Residents of the DMZ and its civilian-controlled buffer zone also include two of the world’s most endangered birds, which use the strip as wintering grounds: the white-naped and red-crowned cranes.
		DMZ Forum, an advocacy group headed by Kim, estimates that more than 20 percent of South Korea’s terrestrial vertebrates—including 48 percent of reptiles and 60 percent of amphibians—have been destroyed or are under severe threat.

	washingtonpost.com: U.S. Troops Will Leave Korean DMZ
		The move from the DMZ will free about 18,000 U.S. troops to be more mobile, and they will be replaced by soldiers in a modernized South Korean army, officials said.
		The DMZ was established along the armistice line drawn to end hostilities of the 1950-53 Korean War, in which U.S. and South Korean troops fought North Korean and Chinese forces to a standstill.
		The two-mile-wide, 155-mile-long DMZ has become a de facto border between North Korea and South Korea, which never signed a peace treaty and still are technically at war.

		When a North Korean MiG jet crossed the DMZ two weeks ago, one in a series of escalating provocations by North leader Kim Jong Il, it sparked a momentary crisis: Just at that moment, one member of a North Korean team of weed clearers stepped over the armistice line, a major violation.
		With Kim threatening to end the 50-year-old Korean armistice and restart nuclear facilities, the intercept on March 1 of a U.S. spy plane, and rocket tests, there's a feeling of being jolted into a standoff that no one on the South side wants.
		Inhabitants of the South Korean village, Tao Song Dong, are required to be either original residents or direct descendants of the villagers who resided there at the time the armistice was signed in 1953.

		But environmentalists and scientists are fearful for the future of the DMZ nature preserve, an area 250 kilometers long and four kilometers wide, should there be a reunification of the Korean peninsula.
		Because the ecosystems and landscape in the DMZ represent a cross section of the Korean peninsula, Kim envisions it as a natural opportunity to protect the many endangered species while fostering trust between the two Koreas.
