Explosive Legacy

Disused military training areas offer a place of refuge for a wide variety of animals and plants. In these remote areas, which can no longer be used by man due to the risk posed by abandoned and concealed munitions, rare species such as the stag beetle, the moor frog and the green lizard or brine shrimp have re-established themselves, forests have been preserved and deserts are even being formed. The outstanding photographic images in this book offer an exciting insight into a hidden cosmos of astounding diversity.
