Deforestation in North Korea

HSF Korea supports the sustainable reforestation in North Korea for several years. A project on sustainable reforestation funded by the European Union has been implemented until 2018, with other pilot projects still continuing. A video clip by TRT World is focusing on the deforestation in North Korea.

A goal is the reintegration of North Korea into international networks and an increasing exchange with international organizations. Numerous trainings, seminars and workshops, but also trainings of young students from North Korea at German universities have the aim to use the topic of forestry as a platform for international cooperation.

This cooperation shall contribute to the modernization of the forestry sector on an institutional and professional level, and create benefits for a healthy environment and the livelihood of the rural population in North Korea.

A recent video distributed by TRT World focuses on reforestation in North Korea and explains why international cooperation is important to address the issue.
