Unusually heavy monsoon rains have hit Myanmar’s central Dry Zone for the past two years, causing crop-damaging floods that have been made worse by deforestation and the effects of the post-coup civil war. This Doh Athan episode commemorates World Soil Day on December 5.

This story was made by journalist Kaung Mon and is available in English and Burmese.
