TUNISIA, 2025. Desert locust in southern Tunisia

Medenine, May 2025. Shows desert locusts. Countries in Northwest Africa expect to enhance monitoring and initiate early control measures as adult desert locust groups and small swarms - originating from the Sahel - moved into southern Sahara in the Western Region of the desert locust distribution area.

Locust activity intensified from late February through March, with adult groups and small swarms arriving in southern Tunisia and elsewhere. Due to favorable ecological conditions, the current spring breeding season has witnessed significantly larger infestations than usual.
