KATAKWI, UGANDA - FEBRUARY 12: Uganda People's Defence Force soldiers open a container holding Desert Locusts they have caught on February 12, 2020 in Katakwi, Uganda. Uganda has deployed soldiers to help combat one of the worst locust infestations in the region for decades. The UN warned that locusts can put crop production, food security and millions of lives at risk. The insects have already destroyed crops in Kenya in the country’s worst infestation for 70 years. The swarms also pose a threat to other countries in the region, including Ethiopia and Somalia. (Photo by Luke Dray/Getty Images)
