Kim utilizes ethnographic research with ecologists and locals to explore the interactions among irrigation ponds, migratory birds, and land mines. This examination shifts the concept of peace from a purely human-centric view to a broader understanding that includes biological relationships, highlighting the potential for coexistence amidst the realities of war.
