Honduras' extensive pine forests are being hit by a plague spread by the pine bark beetle. The plague has already affected 12,000 hectares and is spreading to forest land in eastern and central Honduras. Authorities fear the epidemic could extend to 150,000 hectares and are trying to control and reduce its impact. Gerardo Torres reports from Tegucigalpa. teleSUR
