A massive invasion of desert locusts( 蝗 虫 )—partly fueled by the climate crisis—

seriously threatens food security in already-vulnerable communities across East
Africa and has increasingly alarmed United Nations experts in recent weeks.

"The situation remains extremely serious in the Horn of Africa, where it threatens
pastures and crops in Ethiopia, Kenya, and Somalia," says a report (pdf) released last
week by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO). "The current swarms
represent an unprecedented threat to food (31) ______ and livelihoods in the Horn of
Africa."

A swarm contains up to 150 million locusts per square kilometers (0.39 square miles)
and can devour( 吞 噬 ) enough crops in a day to feed 35,000 people, according to
FAO, a U.N. agency. Although "ground and aerial control operations continue in
Ethiopia and aerial operations started in Kenya in January," the report notes that
"insecurity and a lack of national capacity have hampered control operations in
Somalia."

"A potentially threatening situation is developing along both sides of the Red Sea,
where ongoing breeding is causing locust numbers to increase on the coasts of Egypt,
Sudan, Eritrea, Saudi Arabia, and Yemen," FAO warns. "There is a(n) (31) ______
that some swarms could appear in northeast Uganda, southeast South Sudan, and
southwest Ethiopia."

FAO has called for a "massive, border-spanning campaign" to combat the hundreds of

millions of locusts and stop them from (33) ______ to other countries, noting that
impacted regions in Ethiopia and Somalia haven't seen swarms of this scale in 25
years and that Kenya hasn't faced a(n) (34) ______ on this level in 70 years.

The primary method of battling locust swarms is the aerial spraying of pesticides.
FAO's "Locust Watch" service explains that "although giant nets, flamethrowers,
lasers, and huge vacuums have been (35) ______ in the past, these are not in use for

1
 菁准考英语：高考英语外刊原创 20200215

locust control. People and birds often eat locusts but usually not enough to (36)
______ reduce population levels over large areas."

In response to an FAO request of $70 million "to assist with immediate needs in all
three countries, including ramping up control operations as well as (37) ______
measures to safeguard rural livelihoods," the U.N. Central Emergency Response Fund
(CERF) agreed on Jan. 24 to release $10 million to the agency.

"This (38) ______ locust outbreak is starting to destroy vegetation across East Africa
with alarming speed and ferocity," U.N. humanitarian chief Mark Lowcock said in a
statement announcing the allocation. "Vulnerable families that were already dealing
with food shortages now face the (39) ______ of watching as their crops are destroyed
before their eyes."

"We must act now," Lowcock added, confirming that the (40) ______ will go toward
scaling up aerial operations. "If left unchecked, this outbreak has the potential to spill
over into more countries in East Africa with horrendous consequences. A swift and
determined response to contain it is essential."（467）

吞噬农作物的虫子。

A massive invasion of desert locusts—partly fueled by the climate crisis—seriously

threatens food security in already-vulnerable communities across East Africa and has
increasingly alarmed United Nations experts in recent weeks.

气候危机在一定程度上助长了沙漠蝗虫的大规模入侵 ，严重威胁到东非已经脆弱
的社区的粮食安全，最近几周联合国专家越来越感到震惊。

"The situation remains extremely serious in the Horn of Africa, where it threatens
pastures and crops in Ethiopia, Kenya, and Somalia," says a report (pdf) released last
week by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO). "The current swarms
represent an unprecedented threat to food security and livelihoods in the Horn of
Africa."

联合国粮农组织（FAO）上周发布的一份报告说：“非洲之角的局势仍然极其严重，威
胁到埃塞俄比亚、肯尼亚和索马里的牧场和农作物。”目前的蜂群对非洲之角的
粮食安全和生计构成了前所未有的威胁。”

A swarm contains up to 150 million locusts per square kilometers (0.39 square miles)
and can devour enough crops in a day to feed 35,000 people, according to FAO, a
U.N. agency. Although "ground and aerial control operations continue in Ethiopia and
aerial operations started in Kenya in January," the report notes that "insecurity and a
lack of national capacity have hampered control operations in Somalia."

联合国粮农组织（FAO）称，一个蝗虫群每平方公里（ 0.39 平方英里）可容纳多达 1.5

亿只蝗虫，一天可吞食足够的农作物，养活 3.5 万人。报告指出，尽管 “埃塞俄比亚
的地面和空中控制行动仍在继续，肯尼亚的空中控制行动于 1 月份开始”，但“不安
全和缺乏国家能力阻碍了索马里的控制行动”

"A potentially threatening situation is developing along both sides of the Red Sea,
where ongoing breeding is causing locust numbers to increase on the coasts of Egypt,
Sudan, Eritrea, Saudi Arabia, and Yemen," FAO warns. "There is a risk that some
swarms could appear in northeast Uganda, southeast South Sudan, and southwest
Ethiopia."

粮农组织警告说：“红海两岸正在形成一种潜在的威胁性局势 ，在那里 ，不断繁殖的

蝗虫正导致埃及、苏丹、厄立特里亚、沙特阿拉伯和也门沿海蝗虫数量增加。”
乌干达东北部、南苏丹东南部和埃塞俄比亚西南部可能出现一些蜂群。”

FAO has called for a "massive, border-spanning campaign" to combat the hundreds of

millions of locusts and stop them from spreading to other countries, noting that
impacted regions in Ethiopia and Somalia haven't seen swarms of this scale in 25
years and that Kenya hasn't faced a threat on this level in 70 years.

粮农组织呼吁开展“大规模、跨越边界的行动”，打击数亿蝗虫，阻止它们扩散到其
他国家，并指出埃塞俄比亚和索马里受影响的地区 25 年来没有出现过这种规模
的蝗虫群，肯尼亚 70 年来也没有遇到过这种程度的威胁。

The primary method of battling locust swarms is the aerial spraying of pesticides.
FAO's "Locust Watch" service explains that "although giant nets, flamethrowers,
lasers, and huge vacuums have been proposed in the past, these are not in use for
locust control. People and birds often eat locusts but usually not enough to
significantly reduce population levels over large areas."

对付蝗虫群的主要方法是空中喷洒杀虫剂。粮农组织的“蝗虫观察”服务机构解
释说，“虽然过去曾有人提出过巨网、喷火器、激光和巨大的真空，但这些都不用
于蝗虫防治。人和鸟经常吃蝗虫 ， 但通常不足以显著降低大面积地区的人口水
平。”

In response to an FAO request of $70 million "to assist with immediate needs in all
three countries, including ramping up control operations as well as implementing
measures to safeguard rural livelihoods," the U.N. Central Emergency Response Fund
(CERF) agreed on Jan. 24 to release $10 million to the agency.

联合国中央应急基金（CERF）1 月 24 日同意，应粮农组织提出的 7000 万美元“协助

所有三个国家的紧急需要 ，包括加强控制行动以及执行保障农村生计的措施 ”的
要求，向该机构发放 1000 万美元。

"This devastating locust outbreak is starting to destroy vegetation across East Africa
with alarming speed and ferocity," U.N. humanitarian chief Mark Lowcock said in a
statement announcing the allocation. "Vulnerable families that were already dealing
with food shortages now face the prospect of watching as their crops are destroyed
before their eyes."

联合国人道主义事务负责人洛科克（Mark Lowcock）在宣布这项拨款的声明中说：
“这次毁灭性的蝗灾爆发正以惊人的速度和凶猛程度开始摧毁东非各地的植
被。”已经在应对粮食短缺的脆弱家庭现在面临着眼看着他们的庄稼被摧毁的前
景。”

"We must act now," Lowcock added, confirming that the funds will go toward scaling
up aerial operations. "If left unchecked, this outbreak has the potential to spill over
into more countries in East Africa with horrendous consequences. A swift and
determined response to contain it is essential."

“我们现在必须采取行动，”Lowcock 补充道，证实这些资金将用于扩大空中业
务规模如果不加以控制，这次疫情有可能蔓延到东非更多国家，造成可怕的后
果。迅速而坚决地作出反应以遏制这种情况是至关重要的。”（467）

A humanitarian crisis looms in Africa unless we act fast to stop the desert locust

A farmer tries to chase away a swarm of desert locusts in Kenya in January.

Photograph: Dai Kurokawa/EPA

A colleague at the UN’s Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) tells a terrifying
story about the desert locust.

In 2005 she visited farmers in Niger as they prepared to harvest their crops. Just hours
later, a swarm of locusts swept through the area and destroyed everything. One month
later, truckloads of families were forced to leave their homes because they had
nothing to eat.

A year before that the UN had launched an appeal for $9m (£6.9m) to help Niger and
neighbouring countries control the locusts. The response was slow, and six months
later the amount required in the appeal had reached $100m. The maths was simple:
the locusts were faster than the international response.

History is now in danger of repeating itself. But on a much bigger scale.

The worst outbreak of desert locusts in decades is currently underway in the Horn of
Africa. It is the biggest of its kind in 25 years for Ethiopia and Somalia – and the
worst Kenya has seen for 70 years. The impacts of the outbreak in these countries are
particularly acute as pastures and crops are being wiped out in communities that were
already facing food shortages.

As we write, the swarms have just crossed into Uganda and Tanzania, and moved
within 50km (31 miles) of South Sudan. Djibouti and Eritrea are also affected. And
Oman, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Yemen, and Pakistan are fighting their own serious
infestations.

The desert locust is considered the world’s most destructive migratory pest. A single
locust can travel 150km and eat its own weight in food – about two grams – each day.

8
 菁准考英语：高考英语外刊原创 20200215

A swarm the size of New York City can consume the same amount of food in one day
as the total population of New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania.

What we are seeing in East Africa today is unlike anything we’ve seen in a very long
time. Its destructive potential is enormous, and it’s taking place in a region where
farmers need every gram of food to feed themselves and their families. Most of the
countries hardest hit are those where millions of people are already vulnerable or in
serious humanitarian need, as they endure the impact of violence, drought, and floods.

We have acted quickly to respond to this upsurge. Local and national governments in
East Africa are leading the response, and our respective offices are working closely
together to keep this outbreak under control. The UN’s Office for the Coordination of
Humanitarian Affairs has released $10 million from its Central Emergency Relief
Fund to fund a huge scale-up in aerial operations to manage the outbreak.

The FAO is urgently seeking $76 million from donors and other organisations to help
the affected countries fight the outbreak. The amount required is likely to increase as
the locusts spread.

But the window to contain this crisis is closing fast. We only have until the beginning
of March to bring this infestation under control as that is when the rain and planting
season begins. The swarms are highly mobile; the terrain often difficult; the logistical
challenges immense. But left unchecked – and with expected additional rains – locust
numbers in East Africa could increase 500 times by June.

We must act now to avoid a full-blown catastrophe. And we will. At the same time,
we need to pay attention to a bigger picture. This is not the first time the Greater Horn
of Africa has seen locust upsurges approach this scale, but the current situation is the
largest in decades. This is linked to climate change. Warmer seas mean more
cyclones, generating the perfect breeding conditions for locusts.

Together, we express deep solidarity with the people and communities affected. And
we call on the international community to respond with speed and generosity to
control the infestation while we still have the chance.

• Qu Dongyu is director-general of the UN Food and Agriculture Organization; Mark

Lowcock is the UN under-secretary-general for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency
Relief Coordinator.（673）

Africa's locust crisis worsens

Experts are warning that swarms of locusts munching their way across Africa may yet
reach plague proportions - while Australia is bracing itself for the onslaught of
another species of the voracious insect.

African desert locusts (Schistocerca gregaria), bunch together into flying swarms that
can strip fields of crops overnight. Since late last year, rainy weather has encouraged
them to breed in north-western Africa and numbers have gradually climbed.

This week, the Food and Agriculture Organization warned that swarms are escalating
in Mauritania, Mali and Niger and are spreading east into Chad. The pace of breeding
is unprecedented, says Clive Elliott, part of the FAO's locust-forecasting group in
Rome. "The number of swarms is larger than anybody expected."

Experts are concerned that the locusts will spread as far as Sudan and the Middle East,
at which point the situation would be classified as a plague. The swarms could also
survive for several years. Elliott says that the situation already looks worse than an
equivalent period during the most recent plague, between 1986 and 1989.

Driving force

Rainy weather has been the main driver behind the locusts' spread, as it provides them
with green vegetation to feed on and damp sandy soil in which to lay eggs. Each time
the insects spawn a new generation, which they have done at least four times since
last October, their numbers swell by a factor of about 20.

Elliott says that financial support is now coming from the international community.
But exactly how the situation pans out will depend on the impact of control efforts
and weather conditions. Part of the reason that the previous plague ended in 1989 was
simply because freak winds gusted swarms out into the Atlantic.

In the midst of the locust battle, the FAO is pushing for studies into new ways to
control the insects besides conventional organophosphate pesticides sprayed from
planes. It hopes to test a chemical that stops the insects manufacturing a protein called
chitin in their hard outer skeleton. The chemical could be laid down to form barriers
in the desert, killing juvenile locusts by preventing them from growing a new coat
after moulting.

Down under

In Australia, meanwhile, experts warned this week of an imminent attack on crops by

the Australian plague locust (Chortoicetes terminifera). The current wet weather
means that the insects' could conceivably reach plague levels, as they last did in
1987."

The insects developed after heavy rains in parts of southern Queensland and northern
New South Wales in January, and laid eggs that are expected to hatch shortly.
Although the exact scale of the expected population boom is difficult to predict, Laury
McCulloch, director of the Australian Plague Locust Commission in Canberra,
expects a serious outbreak that will affect areas otherwise clear of locusts for 25
years.

But the Australian infestation will not rival that in Africa, McCulloch says. There,
"there is a high risk that a worst-case scenario may be unfolding," he says.（492）
