With Widespread Deforestation, North Korea Faces an Environmental Crisis
Another win for the left ! What are you so afraid of?
The Soviets and eastern euros were the worst .......until the chicoms came along
NK: HOLD MY BEER!
North Korea holds a Tree Planting Day every March. The question is whether it helps regreen a largely denuded nation whose people face food shortages, deadly natural disasters and bitterly cold winters.
The public holiday began in 1946 when North Korea was under direct Soviet rule. Today, the state-sanctioned media still pays tribute to its claims of leafy success, sometimes with the participation of the “respected Supreme Leader.”
Even as new trees take root, subsistence logging and deforestation have an untold impact on the country’s soil quality and its ability to feed its people.
