eLocust4: Desert Locust data sent via satellite

eLocust4 is the new version of the eLocust series that allows national survey and control officers in locust-affected countries to record and transmit data in real-time via satellite from the field to their national locust centres. This data is the basis for the global Desert Locust monitoring and early warning system that is operated by the Desert Locust Information Service (DLIS) at FAO Headquarters in Rome. The data is used to assess the current situation, forecast its developments and warn locust-affected countries and the international donor community of locust invasions and plagues. It constitutes the basis of the preventive control strategy adopted by affected countries and FAO to reduce the frequency, intensity and duration of devastating locust plagues.
