Why we’re seeing the worst locust invasion in decades and how
Covid-19 exacerbates it | DW Analysis
[quote]While Asia and Africa are battling their worst locust
invasion in decades, the fallout from the coronavirus pandemic
could push tens of millions of people even into deeper poverty
and hunger. Over 50 million people were already facing
crisis-level food insecurity before the coronavirus pandemic
began to spread. COVID-19 prevents farmers from offsetting crop
losses by doing manual labor in cities because of curfews,
restricted movement, and social distancing mandates.[/quote]

Temperatures in the Artic Circle hit all-time high | DW News
[quote]Temperatures in the Arctic Circle have hit an all-time
record, with a town in Siberia reaching an unprecedented peak of
38 degrees Celsius over the weekend. This comes amid a
record-breaking heat wave that's left the region scrambling to
contain a spate of severe wildfire. Many locals have welcomed
the development but to experts, Siberia’s unseasonably high
temperatures are cause for concern.
Rising heat across the Arctic has led to widespread wildfires in
the Sakha Republic, where Verkhoyansk is located. Local
authorities say more than 275,000 hectares are burning. The heat
wave is also causing permafrost, or permanently frozen soil, to
thaw at a faster pace. In late May, the Arctic saw one of its
worst environmental disasters in decades, when a fuel reservoir
collapsed near Norilsk, spilling 21,000 tons of diesel into
local rivers, an accident blamed in part on melting
permafrost.[/quote]

The great death of insects | DW Documentary (ecology
documentary)
[quote]Insects are dying out and scientists and
environmentalists are sounding the alarm. Our film team meets
entomologists, farmers, scientists, chemical companies and
politicians in a bid to lay bare the causes of insect mortality.
Insects aren’t really likeable. They sting, bite, transmit
diseases and frighten children. But, on the other hand, they are
also fascinating: 480 million years ago, insects were the first
animals to learn to fly, and they took over the Earth. Even now,
they are fundamental to life on Earth, and are at the beginning
of the food chain on which all human beings are ultimately
dependent.
But insect numbers worldwide are dropping, creating a rupture of
the food chain. Environmentalists and scientists are now
extremely worried. Landscape ecology professor Alexandra-Maria
Klein from Freiburg, for example, has been researching the
effects of human interventions in natural environments for
decades and has launched an experiment in a fruit plantation on
Lake Constance: What happens when insects disappear? An ominous
silence is settling on places that were once humming and
buzzing. Why are the insects dying? Author Christoph Würzburger
takes a journey into the fascinating world of insects and meets
entomologists, farmers, scientists, chemical companies and
politicians in a search for the causes of insect
mortality.[/quote]
