North Korea's Wildlife and Women Face Threats Amidst Famine Recovery
Despite recovering from a severe famine in the 1990s, North Korea faces a new threat: unsustainable wildlife exploitation. Endangered species like Siberian tigers and Amur leopards are being hunted and traded, while women with breast augmentations face punishment, as the country grapples with lingering social issues.
Starving North Koreans are driven to hunt and sell wildlife, including tigers and badgers, for survival. This illegal trade has expanded, with smugglers selling products across the border to China. The government, however, disapproves of such practices. Breast augmentations, deemed 'un-socialist' and 'bourgeois', are banned in official medical institutions. Women found with implants face strict penalties from Kim Jong Un's regime. Conservationists warn that this unsustainable exploitation could lead to the extinction of key species and defaunation of landscapes.
North Korea's wildlife faces extinction due to illegal hunting and trading. Meanwhile, women with breast augmentations risk punishment. The government must address these issues to protect both its people and its biodiversity.
