New research shows that insects have started to disappear not only in regions near human activity but also in remote areas. Climate change has become the main reason for this global decline. Scientists have noted a dramatic decrease in the population of flying insects, which directly correlates with rising temperatures.
The research indicated that even populations of tropical butterflies and beetles have been affected by climate change. This leads to disruptions in the interactions of all creatures that support ecosystem stability. Entomologists confirm that there is already a "crisis of insect biodiversity," which may adversely affect other living organisms, including humans.
We found that 79% of local ant species in Fiji have experienced population decline, while introduced species are rapidly increasing in numbers
Zoologists argue that insects play a crucial role in maintaining the balance of natural ecosystems. Their extinction could lead to serious consequences for all other species. The study emphasizes the importance of conserving insects to preserve all life on the planet.
Without insects, everything will die: all mammals, all reptiles, all birds, and even humans. If you want to save any of these other things, including us, you must want to save insects
The study highlights that the disappearance of insects could lead to serious consequences for ecosystem diversity and the importance of preserving these animals to support biodiversity and life on the planet as a whole.
