New radio spot about locusts in East Africa

In March, we shared seven radio spots about the impact of locusts on farmers in East Africa. To read them, go to: http://scripts.farmradio.fm/radio-resource-packs/locust-resources/radio-spots-on-the-desert-locust-situation/ [1]

Here is a new radio spot to reflect the reality farmers are now facing:

Spot #8

Farmers, a new and larger wave of locusts is coming. The generation of locusts that damaged crops in January and February has been breeding and their eggs have hatched. Adult swarms are forming and will soon be feeding. This new wave of locusts could be many times larger than the previous one. Alert your local authorities when you see bands of hoppers in your area so that they can take swift action. And stay safe by being indoors during spraying.
