Ducks against locusts
China is planning to send up to 100,000 ducks to Pakistan to help the country contain a huge plague of locusts – origo wrote, after Asia Times.
Locusts have erupted into plague proportions in East Africa and countries on both sides of the Red Sea – affecting Yemen, Saudi Arabia and Oman – due to the strong monsoon.
The locust swarm spread right across the Gulf to Pakistan, which declared a state of emergency because of this earlier this month. (origo)
