An endangered Asiatic black bear has been caught on camera in the demilitarized zone that divides North and South Korea
A photo of the bear -- which is classed as vulnerable under the International Union for Conservation of Nature's Red List -- was captured in the eastern area of the DMZ by an unmanned ecological study camera in October last year, the South Korean Ministry of Environment said in a press release Thursday.
South Korea's Ministry of Environment designated the Asiatic Black bear as an endangered animal in 1998 and has been making efforts to increase population levels. In the press release Thursday, the ministry said it would expand the study of ecology and biodiversity of DMZ area and come up with comprehensive measures to preserve and manage wildlife in the DMZ.
