The German Green Belt (''Grünes Band Deutschland'' in German) is a project of Bund Naturschutz (BUND), one of Germany's largest environmental groups. The project began in 1989 facing a forbidding, 870-mile network of fences and guard towers once ran the length of Germany, separating East and West. Now, one of the world’s most unique nature reserves is being created along the old “Death Strip,” turning a monument to repression into a symbol of renewal.〔 For decades, Germany’s former border sector remained an inaccessible region. It is one of the great anomalies of Germany’s division history that in a place where a hostile line had been drawn, nature was able to develop undisturbed over a period of several decades. Apart from the no man’s land itself, this also applied to extensive tracts of adjacent land because they were so cut off. This “Green Belt” is characterized by an exceptional wealth of species and habitats, most of which are now endangered, representing a system of interlinked biotopes of national importance, which joins together or passes through valuable swathes of land and intensively farmed agricultural landscapes. The Federal Government, Länder and nature conservation organisations are joining forces to protect this “Green Belt” and develop it into a valuable habitat for humans and nature. Something which once divided Germany is now a symbol of national unity.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.bfn.de/fileadmin/MDB/documents/themen/landschaftsundbiotopschutz/NSBD_Germany.pdf )〕 == East and West Border == 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「German Green Belt」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
