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.

If only they had some environment regulations.

You seem to support the same "environmental regulations are evil" policies as North Korea. Not surprising, being how most conservatives are tough to distinguish from commies.

Socialism is why north korea is in the crisis it is today....north korea is what happens when socialist ideology is allowed to reach its inevitable conclusion.

Is that why the US was deforested by the 20th century?

Couldn't of been because people were cold n hungry dues to socialist polices

Indigenous rights
Mission Guaicaipuro (launched October 2003) – carried out by the Venezuelan Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources, this program seeks to restore communal land titles and human rights to Venezuela's numerous indigenous communities, in addition to defending their rights against resource and financial speculation.
Land reform
Mission Zamora – an integrated land reform and land redistribution program in Venezuela. Several large landed estates and factories have been, or are in the process of being expropriated to stimulate the agricultural sector, create more economic activity and to redistribute wealth to the poor.
Rural development
Mission Vuelta al Campo ("Return to the Countryside"; announced mid– 2005) – seeks to encourage impoverished and unemployed urban Venezuelans to willingly return to the countryside.
Mission Árbol (Mission Tree, announced June 2006) – seeks to recover Venezuelan forests and to involve the rural population to stop harm to forests through from slash/burn practices by promoting more sustainable agriculture, such as growing coffee or cocoa. The projects aim to achieve this through self-organization of the local populations.[6]
Mission Revolución Energética (Mission Energy Revolution) – a campaign launched November 2006 to replace incandescent lightbulbs with more energy-efficient fluorescent bulbs.[4]

Reforestation is not a political issue.

Of course it is...in fact, you made it a political issue yourself by bringing our reforestation efforts into the discussion and pointing out that government had instituted it.

The need to reforest the US was not motivated by political tensions it was a rational move by the govt.
