We are witnessing a slow-motion catastrophe…

Across the globe, insect populations have seen a steep decline.
According to a meta-analysis of 16 studies, insect populations have declined by about 45% in just the last 40 years.
The large-scale death of insects poses huge threats not only to the ecosystems they exist in but also to much of our agriculture, as insects pollinate about 75% of global crops.
Two driving causes of the marked fall off are climate change and habitat loss.
