The Insect Crisis - Oliver Milman
When is the last time you were stung by a wasp? Or saw a butterfly? Or were followed by a cloud of midges?
A groundswell of research suggests insect numbers are in serious decline all over the world - in some places by over 90%. All these normal occurrences are becoming much rarer. The Insect Crisis 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, especially our own. In a compelling and entertaining investigation spanning the globe, Milman speaks to the scientists and entomologists studying this catastrophe and asks why these extraordinary creatures are disappearing. Part warning, part celebration of the incredible variety of insects, this book highlights why we need to wake up to this impending environmental disaster.
