2020, we do not know what to can say, point out according to scientific and newest report, this year the African a plague of locusts of the beginning of the year came again, and this message can have decided, the amount of the 2nd a plague of locusts is the first about 20 times (namely the amount rises about 20 times) , say to affecting the likelihood on degree to be able to bring tremendous influence again so, and intensity can exceed us a few anticipate.
Is the locust nowadays what to position expand?Appear in the first a plague of locusts actually when, we are saying a problem, that administers locust to need to be in in it namely the period of time of breed period undertakes controlling, however for the circumstance from the report, african region lives without control. The 2nd a plague of locusts already began to invade Africa, stage a come back.
The larva of billions of desert locust (1 billion several desert " young locust " ) be bred in great quantities in Somalia, the larva that says desert locust so was formed already formally, it is difficult that this time will control, add along with seasonal rainfall and the fresh vegetation of emerge in large numbers, this more be helpful for locust spread with expand, this is exceedingly adverse to the inhibition of locust.
From the point of the development dimensions nowadays, this also means the occurrence of locust to will bring more serious problem, the food crisis problem of the major area that can let the world worry about whole East Africa namely then, include Kenya, ethiopia and Na Sudan. In addition, in Djibouti, be stranded establishs Teliya, tanzania and Congo also discovered locust group. Do how? Locust has been in now farther buildup, grain farming organization represents the foundation, "The current condition of East Africa makes a person very astonish " .
The 2nd locust can develop how long, what to bring to be affected greatly?As a result of the dimensions that looks from initial stage it is 20 times the first, so inevitable the time of brought influence and development will be longer, point out according to the report of U.N. Food and Agricultural Organization so, predict advantageous May progenitive condition is meant the last ten-day of a month will be mixed in June the last ten-day of a month will have in July new round locust is planted group of breed, and this and be identical of photograph of the crown of the year. So the 2nd a plague of locusts predicts to last to the end of August, in light of the monitoring condition that carries satellitic center, in new occurrence locust group include " larval " , they " eat morely than grown locust " , this is commanding a respect bad to carry out, gnawing feed plant field to also be met more.
Through showing to the monitoring data of the Ethiopia alone, about 6 million life is in alive be broken out by locust the area of the influence, say this meeting causes the wave of food crisis so, u.N. also promoted to the aid of East Africa area one times the left and right sides, from the amount of original aid 76 million dollar raises 153 million dollar. At present till, grain farming organizes the support that already gathered 111 million dollar. Saying so is true influence came, the world had seen.
Can the 2nd locust affect our country?Of course this problem has discussed when appearing the first times, the move that considers characteristic of landforms of terrain of area of our country border, climate and desert locust namely then flies characteristics, the odds of our country of desert locust harm is very small. Simple for our country is belonged to namely to desert locust " natural environment refuses to obey " , but to be ready for any eventuality, our country also is in some closer in close observation, but in spring when, above although say odds is small, our country or need notice two places, that is Tibetan south and Yunnan western border land and Nepalese with Burmese desert locust happening area borders, this is so possible the likelihood that a few locust follow monsoon ingoing our country, but the odds that causes a harm is very small.
This is nodded " desert locust " can saying on control is no problem completely, so we need the close trend that watchs desert locust to go only nowadays. On whole for, considering the development amount of the 2nd locust, we also expect breakfast can be controlled, it is best that the consequence of will desert locust reduces 0 ability.
Of course this a plague of locusts upgrades, the possibility can produce an effect really to the commissariat of East Africa area, the possibility produces the food crisis problem of a few area, and U.N. Food and Agricultural Organization weighs the outbreak of a plague of locusts, because climate changes,the part is, can cause to food safety and bread " unprecedented menace " . Say so, commissariat is northeastern make the likelihood in short supply material, add nowadays is epidemic situation during, this is to let area of East Africa part really " one disaster after another " , hope world each country tries hard to control a plague of locusts together, having probability very much otherwise is to be able to affect of the whole world.
