A YouTube video showcases a car graveyard in Japan filled with C3-generation Corvettes and classic Japanese sports cars left to rot in an overgrown field, with piles of junk cars, car parts, and scrap metal overtaken by grass and bushes. The abandoned area includes a garage with the remains of an old Datsun Z and a flattened A70 Toyota Supra, presenting a haunting scene of automotive decay being reclaimed by nature.
Abandoned places around the world are being reclaimed by nature, providing opportunities for wildlife to thrive. Examples include the Angkor Wat temple complex in Cambodia, Houtouwan village in China, Mangapurua Valley in New Zealand, the SS Yongala shipwreck in Australia, Ilha da Queimada Grande in Brazil, the demilitarized zone between North and South Korea, Al Madam village in the United Arab Emirates, the Fukushima Exclusion Zone in Japan, St Kilda archipelago in Scotland, and Stack Rock Fort in Wales. These areas have become havens for various animal and plant species, highlighting the resilience of nature when given the chance to rebound.
Abandoned golf courses are being repurposed and rewilded by conservation nonprofits and local authorities, providing opportunities to boost biodiversity and combat climate change. Organizations like The Trust for Public Land (TPL) are acquiring former golf courses and restoring them to their natural state, creating habitats for endangered species and improving water flow. Similar initiatives are taking place in the UK, where golf courses are being transformed into woodlands and nature reserves. These efforts highlight the potential of repurposing golf courses to create more sustainable and ecologically diverse landscapes.
