An aerial view shows a forest area cleared as part of pine wood nematode containment operations near Seignosse, south-western France, on January 13, 2026. The accelerated timber harvesting in areas surrounding an infested zone aims to contain the spread of pine wood nematode, a microscopic worm that has infected thousands of hectares of maritime pine forests in the Landes department threatening one of Europe's largest planted forests.
