The insect crisis - the fall of the tiny empires that run the world
A groundswell of research suggests insect numbers are in serious decline all over the world, in some places by over 90%. This book explores this hidden emergency, arguing that its consequences could even rival climate change. We rely on insect pollination for the bulk of our agriculture, they are a prime food source for birds and fish, and they are a key strut holding up life on Earth. Part warning, part celebration of the incredible variety of insects, this book is a wake-up call for us all.
