"Other scientists agree that it is becoming clear that insect losses are
now a serious global problem. “The evidence all points in the same
direction,” said Prof Dave Goulson at the University of Sussex in the
UK. “It should be of huge concern to all of us, for insects are at the
heart of every food web, they pollinate the large majority of plant
species, keep the soil healthy, recycle nutrients, control pests, and
much more. Love them or loathe them, we humans cannot survive without
insects.”"
