I wonder what's going on with the DPRK

Pretty bad drought and floods over the past 20 years, and the country is too mountainous to support most effective reforestation strategies. So it's mostly climate change, economic isolation, and only 17% of the land can support forests in the first place. It's not a good time right now.
