Produktinformationen zu „Desert Locust Plagues (ePub)“
For thousands of years, humans have found themselves vulnerable to plagues of desert locusts. Some fifty countries in Africa, the Middle East and Asia have been ravaged, at one time or another, by huge, devouring swarms of locusts. With the consequent, often total, destruction of crops and grazing, widespread hunger and starvation ensued. Colin Everard's book takes as its geographical focus the Horn of Africa, an area which throughout history has suffered catastrophically from locust plagues. Based on his own extensive experience in the region, Everard describes one of the greatest (albeit unsung) triumphs of the twentieth century, namely, how the desert locust scourge has, at last, been virtually brought under control.
Autoren-Porträt von Colin Everard
Colin Everard worked with Desert Locust Control in the Horn of Africa, as well as in Kenya, the then Tanganyika (now Tanzania), and in Uganda. As head of operations in the field for Desert Locust Control, he was responsible for the strategic mounting and directing of anti-locust campaigns to combat huge invasions of desert locust swarms during an extended plague period; these campaigns were aimed at protecting the agriculture and livestock grazing of the region.Subsequent to his work with Desert Locust Control, Colin Everard worked in the International Civil Aviation Organization. He lives in Vienna. This is his fourth book.
