Ecosystems

North Korea's ecosystems are in terrible shape. However, due to the country's iron policies regarding foreign aid, the extent is not known. The tiny glimpse that Americans have been allowed to see of Korean rural areas is devastating. The soil is in poor condition due to the Koreans' desperate struggle to grow crops despite famines in the 1990's. Many countries show interest in giving North Korea aid, but distrust between nations causes tensions that hinder the progression of work efforts in the country.
