‘We must act immediately’: Swarms of locusts in Africa are worst in decades
(Worthy News) – Swarms of hungry locusts are devouring crops in Eastern Africa, the worst invasion of the insects in decades.
The outbreak of desert locusts is the worst that Kenya has seen in 70 years, according to the Associated Press. The insects have been pouring into the country from Ethiopia and Somalia and leaving behind destroyed farmland in a part of the world already suffering from hunger.
The United Nations said that the problem could increase in March when rainfall picks up across the area, bringing with it new vegetation. The swarms have the potential to balloon 500 times their size if measures are not taken to cull the locusts. [ Source: Washington Examiner (Read More…) ]
