Only recently, through ecological and peaceful value studies within the Korean Demilitarized Zone, it was discovered that after 60 years of isolation from human contact the DMZ currently contains numerous native and endangered wildlife species, pristine fresh water ecosystems, large mature forests, and healthy populations of marine life unlike anywhere else on the Korean peninsula. As a result of these findings and the interests of creating better relations between North and South Korea there has been a proposal to convert the DMZ into a World Peace Park. This paper describes the peaceful values and tourist benefits of creating a joint nature conservation programme between North and South Korea. A World Peace Park is a conservation area that incorporates natural ecosystems along an international border into one management area by dropping border fences to allow for free movement of wildlife and people. According to the Peace Parks Foundation(2009): “Peace parks are about co-existence between humans and nature, about promoting regional peace and stability, conserving biodiversity and stimulating job creation by developing nature conservation as a land-use option.”In addition to sustainably protecting the natural environment and potentially improving economic affairs, a World Peace Park could be established to promote better diplomacy and the strengthening of political ties similar to the Waterton-Glacier International Peace Park established along the US–Canadian border in 1932 and Morokulien which was established between Sweden and Norway to celebrate their long periods of friendship. Due to the chronically poor relations between the DPRK and the ROK, establishing a World Peace Park is hoped to extinguish the continuous friction between the two countries and to foster a safer and secure political future. Agreeing to pursue a mission together such as this would be a tremendous step towards peace between the two administrations.
