Extreme wind and rain may lead to bigger and worse desert locust outbreaks, with human-caused climate change likely to intensify the weather patterns and cause higher outbreak risks, a new study has found.

極端的風和雨可能導致更大、更嚴重的沙漠蝗災,而人為造成的氣候變遷,可能會加劇這種天氣模式,並增加蝗災爆發的風險,一項新研究發現。

The desert locust — a short-horned species found in some dry areas of northern and eastern Africa, the Middle East, and South Asia — is a migratory insect that travels in swarms of millions over long distances and damages crops, causing famine and food insecurity. A square kilometer swarm comprises 80 million locusts that can in one day consume food crops enough to feed 35,000 people.

沙漠蝗蟲是一種短角物種,分佈在非洲北部和東部、中東和南亞的一些乾旱地區,是一種遷徙性的昆蟲,以數百萬隻的群體遷徙長距離,破壞農作物,造成饑荒和糧食不安全。1平方公里的蝗群包含8000萬隻蝗蟲,1天可以消耗足夠養活3.5萬人的糧食作物。
