Recently, efforts to restore the forest denudation are carried out in the field of private, public, industrial and academic sectors. North Korea indiscriminately has been converting its mountainous areas into farmland to solve the food shortage problems. However, the assarts without proper investigation and management only make landslides, steep farmland and forest denudation at the end. The government's policies, numerous studies by industry and academia and hot discussions in the private sector (the Green Association, etc.) suggest that the deforestation in North Korea has reached a serious level and no more time before it fall into a hopeless status.
