The moth's caterpillar stage strips trees of their needles, causing die-offs that unfold over multiple years. Such outbreaks have recurred over decades, collectively destroying millions of hectares of forest. The dead vegetation has now created highly combustible conditions, fueling wildfires that are proving extremely difficult to control. The crisis carries broader meteorological consequences, raising alarm among scientists and environmental authorities.
