Faced with the threat of a locust outbreak originating from the Sahel and Northwest Africa, Moroccan authorities have heightened their vigilance and mobilization efforts. Swarms of locusts have recently been observed in limited numbers in some southeastern regions, prompting the relevant services to take preventive measures to anticipate any developments.
While the situation remains under control and does not currently pose a major risk, authorities have activated command centers in the affected areas to enable real-time monitoring and rapid intervention if needed. Specialized teams have been deployed for surveillance and anti-locust operations, with both ground and aerial resources mobilized.
Sufficient pesticide stocks are available, and interventions are conducted with strict adherence to environmental standards to preserve biodiversity and natural resources. The concerned services remain on high alert, continuing detection and monitoring efforts to prevent the spread of locust swarms and protect the country’s crops and agricultural infrastructure.
