Inhalt:
When viewed from space, the Korean Peninsula is crossed by a thin green ribbon. On the ground, its mix of dense vegetation and cleared borderlands serves as home to dozens of species that are extinct or endangered elsewhere on the peninsula. This is Korea's demilitarised zone - one of the most dangerous places on Earth for humans, and paradoxically one of the safest for wildlife. Although this zone was not intentionally created for conservation, across the globe hundreds of millions of acres of former military zones and bases are being converted to restoration areas, refuges, and conservation lands. David G. Havlick has travelled the world visiting these spaces of military-to-wildlife transition, and in 'Bombs Away' he explores both the challenges - physical, historical, and cultural - and fascinating ecological possibilities of military site conversions.
