Walking The Iron Curtain
Mary-Ann Ochota explores the world's longest wildlife reserve
25 years ago a group of naturalists devised a cunning plan, to create the world's longest wildlife reserve. The no-man’s land, between Communist East and Capitalist West was a death-strip for humans but an accidental haven for rare birds and mammals. If it could be kept free of development then this European Greenbelt could help heal the continent’s natural and political divisions. Mary-Ann Ochota travels the 12,500km length of the Iron Curtain to gauge their success as fear and conflict once more close-in on Europe's eastern borders.
