"The world must eradicate pesticide use, prioritise nature-based farming
methods and urgently reduce water, light and noise pollution to save
plummeting insect populations, according to a new “roadmap to insect
recovery” compiled by experts.

The call to action by more than 70 scientists from across the planet
advocates immediate action on human stress factors to insects which
include habitat loss and fragmentation, the climate crisis, pollution,
over-harvesting and invasive species."

Via Glyn Moody, who wrote "sounds good; let’s do it"
