Imagine looking toward the horizon and seeing a cloud so enormous it blocks out the sky. Then you realize the cloud is alive. Locust swarms can contain millions—even billions—of insects, moving across vast distances and consuming vegetation in their path. For communities that depend on crops and livestock, a major swarm can threaten food supplies and livelihoods on an extraordinary scale. So how do you fight an enemy that can fly, multiply rapidly and move across international borders? From Africa to India, scientists, governments and local communities are turning to cutting-edge technology to track locust movements, predict where swarms may travel and stop outbreaks before they become even more destructive. Discover the science behind one of nature's most formidable phenomena—and the massive effort to contain it—in the Curiosity Original Bright Now: Locust Swarm, streaming on Curiosity Stream. . . . #CuriosityStream #LocustSwarm #Science #Nature #Technology
