2025年7月埃及、沙特阿拉伯和巴基斯坦500m沙漠蝗遥感监测数据集

Remote sensing monitoring showed that, in July 2025, desert locusts were primarily distributed in the western desert and the central Nile Valley of Egypt, the inland regions from southern to northern Saudi Arabia, and the eastern plains and the southeastern desert fringe of Pakistan, affecting 17.1, 16.2, and 14.4 thousand hectares of vegetation, respectively. Over the next two months, most parts of Egypt are expected to remain dry with little rainfall, leading to continued population decline and gradual southward migration toward Sudan, with only scattered activity in irrigated oases. In Saudi Arabia, limited rainfall in the northern and central inland regions will constrain breeding, with only small-scale activity possible along the southern Red Sea coast. In Pakistan, the India–Pakistan desert belt is expected to maintain small-scale summer breeding under the monsoon influence, yet no significant development is anticipated. As this period coincides with the major growing and harvest season for food crops in Egypt and Pakistan, and the primary planting and growing season for food crops in Saudi Arabia, continued monitoring is essential to prevent recurrent losses in agricultural and pastoral production.
