Being virtually untouched by humans for 70 years, the demilitarized zone or DMZ has become a haven for wildlife.

Being virtually untouched by humans for 70 years, the demilitarized zone or DMZ has become a haven for wildlife. Based on a new study by the Ministry of Environment, over 6,000 species of wildlife live along the inter-Korean border, including 101 endangered species. The ecological reserve is divided into five regions. The species of wildlife include insects, invertebrates, birds, arachnids, freshwater fish, mammals, amphibians and reptiles. Among the endangered species discovered were musk deer, cranes, otters and eagles. Researchers believe more living beings can be found once access to the DMZ becomes more open.
