Biography
Cyril Piou leads the Cirad locust team dedicated to addressing problems caused by locusts, primarily in the African tropics, Near East, Asia, and Latin America. Since September 2013, their research, based at CBGP (Centre de Biologie pour la Gestion des Populations) in Montpellier, France, is aimed at aiding developing countries in better controlling economically significant locust species. Their focus includes understanding outbreak determinism, implementing monitoring and early warning systems, and adopting new control methods that are more effective, economical, and ecologically sustainable compared to existing practices.
