Kenya鈥檚 Locust Hunters
Our World looks at the worst invasion of desert locusts East Africa has seen for decades. Just an average swarm can eat the same in a day as 2500 people for a year.
East Africa has seen the worst invasion of desert locusts for decades and there are warnings of even larger swarms to come. Millions of people across the region who are already feeling the impact of coronavirus and floods, will now face increased hunger and poverty. Just an average swarm can eat the same in a day as 2500 people for a year.
We join Albert the Samburu herdsman turned locust hunter as he struggles to track the pests who have been decimating crops and pastures across his native northern Kenya. It is a race against time to exterminate this generation before they breed another, larger, more voracious generation.
