Heuschrecken zerstören Weide

Erwin Leuschner
Swakopmund/Windhoek (er) - Mehr als 5 000 Hektar Weide wurden bei der diesjährigen Plage der Wanderheuschrecke in Namibia zerstört. Insgesamt haben die Insekten mehr als 400 000 Hektar des Landes heimgesucht. Diese Statistik gab Anna Shiweda, Vize-Ministerin für Landwirtschaft, Wasserbau und Landreform, am Freitag anlässlich des Welternährungstages bekannt.

„Die Landwirtschaft sollte als Instrument zur Förderung der Ernährungssicherheit und zur Bekämpfung der Armut dienen, aber durch die Auswirkungen der Heuschreckenplage und der COVID-19-Pandemie ist dies gefährdet“, sagte sie bei der Feierlichkeit in Oshikango am Freitag. Die Heuschreckenplage bereite ihr besonders „große Sorge“, derweil „Bemühungen zur Bekämpfung der Schädlinge eine Herausforderung darstellten.

Kurz nach Shiwedas Rede hat am Wochenende ein gewaltiger Heuschreckenschwarm einen großen Teil der Sambesi-Region, besonders bei Katima Mulilo, heimgesucht.
