Operation Locust Annihilation

Madagascar is in trouble. Locusts, one of the oldest pestilences in history, is threatening the livelihood of 13 million people. By September 2013, 1.5 million hectares covering two-thirds of the country could be infested. Madagascar needs around 40 million dollars to launch an aerial assault on the locusts, but in a country where 80% of the population lives on less than a dollar a day, this may be difficult. With our help, we may be able to prevent an immense food shortage and save countless lives.
