Climate change may boost Morocco's venomous scorpion spread
A recent study published in October 2026 reveals that potential climate change could lead to an expansion of the distribution of the highly venomous scorpion, Androctonus mauritanicus, in Morocco. Researchers predict that suitable habitats for its presence will increase over a larger area, with habitable regions potentially growing by between 27% and 34% by the year 2080 under various climate scenarios. The report emphasizes that this potential expansion heightens the risks of stings and poisoning, especially in areas close to human settlements. It underscores the importance of health awareness and preventive measures, particularly to protect children, while also considering the impact of other environmental changes such as soil and natural cover.
