Four Pests campaign

The Four Evils campaign was one of the first campaigns of the Great Leap Forward in Maoist China from 1958 to 1962. Authorities targeted four “pests” for elimination: rats, flies, mosquitoes, and sparrows. The extermination of sparrows resulted in severe ecological imbalance, and was one of the causes of the Great Chinese Famine which lasted from 1959 to 1961, with an estimated death toll due to starvation that ranges in the tens of millions (15 to 55 million).

Not the first time an unhinged leader thought he knew better and pushed the whole country in famine.
