| Meer info | In the past 20 years, millions of dollars have been spent fighting locusts in the Sahel; from satellite early warning systems and crop-spraying aircraft to building up village brigades. Yet in 1988 the Sahel suffered one of the worst locust plagues for 30 years. In Senegal alone, locust swarms cleared two million hectares (an area the size of Israel) and destroyed 10% of the nation's harvest. 'Our village lost two-thirds of its production,' said a villager in Niger. 'It seemed as if the more we used the pesticides, the more the locusts resisted them.' But as well as massive and irregular locust plagues, the Sahel suffers from less dramatic but equally damaging attacks by grasshoppers. Grasshoppers are closely related to locusts and both are highly adapted to coping with the environmental conditions in the Sahel. |
