In addition to adding to climate change, it appears we are driving an insect extinction.
"We are pushing many ecosystems beyond recovery, resulting in insect extinctions.
• Causes are habitat loss, pollution, invasives, climate change, and overexploitation.
• We lose biomass, diversity, unique histories, functions, and interaction networks.
• Insect declines lead to loss of essential, irreplaceable services to humanity.
• Action to save insect species is urgent, for both ecosystems and human survival."
