Insects for a Living Planet!
Insects, like all animals, are an integral part of ecosystems, and it is crucial to consider the entire biodiversity. In the latest edition of the IUCN’s World Red List, out of 150,388 species studied, 42,108 are classified as threatened. Among them, 41% of amphibians, 13% of birds, and 27% of mammals are even threatened with total extinction on a global scale.
But this is just the tip of the iceberg… because there are even more difficult-to-assess declines, such as those of insects and the microscopic fauna of the soil (bacteria, fungi, etc.)
