Despite years of combating the plague, the destructive Giant African Snail continues to spread across Antigua and Barbuda.
This invasive species poses a significant threat to the local agricultural sector and could potentially lead to life-threatening diseases in humans.
The spread of the Giant African Snail must be contained to mitigate its devastating impact on the local ecosystem and economy.
Efforts to eradicate the snail and prevent further proliferation are underway, but additional support and resources are needed to effectively combat this growing threat.
Local farmers, residents, and authorities are urged to remain vigilant and report any sightings of the Giant African Snail to the relevant authorities.
Collaborative and coordinated action is essential to prevent further harm and protect the well-being of our communities.
