Drone by Drone in the Teleberri of ETB2 on the Brown Band Fungus that affects the pines of Euskadi

Drone by Drone has recorded aerial images for EiTB's information services about the plague suffered by the pine forests of the Basque Country.

The images by drones recorded by the operator of Bilbao have been broadcasted in the Teleberri and in the Gaur Egun, showing the effect on the pine forests of Gipuzkoa.

The pines of Euskadi are being affected by the brown band fungus. The affection on the variety of pine Insignis is very high, reaching percentages of 25% and 40% in Bizkaia and Gipuzkoa respectively.

This disease attacks the pines, producing a visible discoloration, and even killing the tree, which dries up in a short time. Therefore, there is a lot of concern in the Basque forestry sector, since the affected area is important and the disease advances without restraint for the moment.

The Basque institutions and organizations are working on finding solutions to the spread of this plague. From Drone by Drone, we will do everything possible to raise awareness and even help eradicate the fungus through the use of drones.
