:They called it a Wilderness Preserve. It was one of the Contaminated Zones, the dirty secrets that the government made it easy to ignore. | |||

There's a bit of a parallel with Nausicaä's promotion of harmony between Mankind and Nature : however, the harmony brought about by the Daodan is somewhat more creepy (see the entry about [[Daodan#Smart cancer|"smart cancer"]] and following) than Miyazaki's fairy-tale-like message. | There's a bit of a parallel with Nausicaä's promotion of harmony between Mankind and Nature : however, the harmony brought about by the Daodan is somewhat more creepy (see the entry about [[Daodan#Smart cancer|"smart cancer"]] and following) than Miyazaki's fairy-tale-like message. | ||
