Islands of Abandonment

by
Cal Flyn

published in

November 1, 2021 Thad P says:
A flower grows through concrete if given enough time, but that's nothing compared to what nature can get up to when we just leave it alone for a bit.
An investigative journalist looks at places where nature is flourishing in the absence of humans, such as the irradiated grounds of Chernobyl and a vast forest of extinct and endangered species in the DMZ between North and South Korea.

Thad P

I work in the circulation department. I read mostly history, nonfiction and science (geology nerd here), but also enjoy a good mystery or a sci-fi/fantasy excursion. I love nature and my personal version of heaven is a cabin in the woods with the sun setting, a fire going and a stack of good books still waiting to be read.
