It's been a century since the last Korean tiger was killed off, but in stories and other art forms, they're indelibly linked to the land and its people.
I learned so much! I love that the tiger has such a storied (in many ways) history. The juxtaposition of being feared in life and revered in the imagination is fascinating.
I was really surprised by how explicit the scholarship was on that point! It goes well beyond the "Big Yellow Taxi" of it all, and I would read so much more about the efforts toward de-extinction and the DMZ nature/peace park. (Thank you! I enjoyed digging around for this one so much!)
