Popis: The Korean Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) that separates the two Koreas currently serves as a most valuable, albeit incidental, nature reserve. The purpose of this article is to make it clear—especially to relevant academics, diplomats, and civil servants—that a major fraction of the DMZ must be protected formally for such a purpose. For that to happen, it would certainly be best accomplished before such time that a treaty is adopted that officially ends the Korean War of 1950–1953, thereby abolishing the DMZ and making most of that land immediately available for development.
