International Locust and Grasshopper Group (ILGG)

The International Locust and Grasshopper Group (ILGG) is a global organization that brings together scientists and experts dedicated to studying, monitoring, and managing locusts and grasshoppers. These insects can form large swarms that destroy crops and threaten food security in affected regions. ILGG promotes research, data sharing, and coordinated efforts to prevent and control locust and grasshopper outbreaks, helping vulnerable communities protect their agriculture and livelihoods through informed strategies and international cooperation.
