(Ulsan=Yonhap News) Reporter Jang Ji-hyun = Ulsan MBC will broadcast a documentary titled "War of the Insects" on the 25th at 9 PM, highlighting the spread of pine wood nematode disease and the limitations of government forestry policies.
This documentary examines the terrifying spread of pine wood nematode disease, which has recently been rampant in Yeongnam regions including Ulsan, Pohang, Gyeongju, and Yangpyeong, as a chain of consecutive forest disasters.
The investigative team conducted in-depth interviews with over 30 domestic and foreign forestry experts for more than 30 hours and surveyed nationwide sites affected by the nematode to analyze issues in forestry policies.
Additionally, the documentary compares forestry policies of France, Germany, and Japan, and proposes the need for comprehensive and long-term policymaking rather than fragmented control measures.
