Locusts: A close-up look at the swarms devouring the world's crops
Visual Journalism Team
9 July 2020
Huge swarms of desert locusts are wreaking havoc in parts of East Africa, Asia and the Middle East, threatening crops, livelihoods and food supplies. It is already the worst locust infestation in decades, but the forthcoming rainy season could see numbers increase a further 20-fold in some places if swarms are not tackled.
What are locusts and why are there so many of them right now?
How to view the locusts in 3D or Augmented Reality (AR)
You can view and explore the 3D locusts on your desktop or mobile device. For the full AR experience you will need a mobile device. The AR experience uses the latest technology and may need an updated version of your browser. We can't guarantee it will work on all browsers.
