“Dobra fotografija nudi razumevanje na zelo svojevrsten način, uporablja vizualno močne načine za predstavitev ideje in močen pripovedni koncept, ki gledalcu skozi informativna orodja omogoča razumevanje zgodbe. To je moje osebno mnenje oz. pogled skozi identiteto fotoreporterja. Zame, za pripovedovalca zgodb, mora dobra fotografija istočasno vsebovati tako vprašanja kot odgovore nanje.”

A farmer examines desert locusts at an infested farm in Nakukulas, Turkana County, Kenya on June 7, 2020.
The desert locust upsurge could have devastating consequences in already vulnerable regions, potentially causing large-scale crop damage and threatening food security in countries affected by recurrent drought, conflict, high food prices, as well as the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Horn of Africa faced the worst desert locust crisis in over 25 years, and the most serious in 70 years forĘKenya. The situation represents an unprecedented threat to food security and livelihoods in the region.

A truck with a worker on the top of the trailer drives in a road completely surrounded by a massive swarm of locust in an area next to Archers Post, Samburu County, Kenya on April 24, 2020.
A locust plague fueled by unpredictable weather patterns up to 20 times larger than a wave two months earlier is threatening to devastate parts of East Africa. Locust has made already a devastating appearance in Kenya, two months afterĘvoracious swarms -some billions strong- ravaged big areas of land and just as the coronavirus outbreak has begun to disrupt livelihoods. In spite of coronavirus-related travel restrictions, international experts are in place to support efforts to eradicate the pest with measures including ground and aerial spraying.
The Covid-19 pandemic has competed for funding, hampered movement and delayed the import of some inputs, including insecticides and pesticides.
The UN Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) has called the locust outbreak, caused in part by climate change, Ňan unprecedented threatÓ to food security and livelihoods. Its officials have called this new wave some 20 times the size of the first.
