Global insect species are declining by 40% in temperate regions—blame overuse of agrochemicals & intensive farming. Birds, plants, & humans suffer too. If we don't act fast, crop yields drop, & food shortages loom. Switch to sustainable farming NOW! #InsectDecline

Reversing #InsectDecline is essential not optional. 🦋We've joined #conservation charities in calling for governments, land managers, businesses & the public to take immediate steps to reverse declines in populations👉gardenorganic.org.uk/news/insect-decline-decl... #BristolDeclaration
📉 A new study highlights a 70% decline in insect populations in remote Colorado due to rising temperatures, underscoring the impact of climate change on biodiversity hotspots like mountain ecosystems. 🌍 Link: https://tinyurl.com/2b6oubbq #BiodiversityLoss #ClimateChange #InsectDecline
New research using genomic techniques on Fijian ant specimens shows that nearly 80% of native ant populations are declining, highlighting urgent concerns about biodiversity loss due to human activities. 🐜🌿 Link: https://tinyurl.com/23674l3b #BiodiversityLoss #InsectDecline #ConservationEfforts
Fiji’s Native Ants Decline by 79% – Evidence of Insect Loss
A study in Science finds 79% of Fiji’s endemic ant species are declining, as revealed by DNA analysis of museum specimens spanning centuries of human impact. Read more: getnews.me/fijis-native-ants-declin... #fiji #ants #insectdecline

Mountain Insect Populations Decline Sharply Despite Minimal Human Impact
A 20‑year study in a Colorado subalpine meadow found insect numbers fell an average 6.6% per year, totaling about a 72% loss from 2004 to 2024 as summer temperatures rose. getnews.me/mountain-insect-populati... #insectdecline #mountainecosystems

Colorado mountain meadow study shows 72% insect decline over 20 years
A 20‑year study in a Colorado alpine meadow above 3,000 m found flying insects dropped 72 % in abundance, a 6.6 % yearly decline linked to nighttime warming of ~0.8 °C per decade. getnews.me/colorado-mountain-meadow... #insectdecline #colorado

🚨 ALARMING: UK insect populations down 63% in just 3 years!
A Bugs Matter study tracked 8,800+ journeys across Britain, revealing potential ecological collapse. Same across EU.
Insects underpin our natural world. Without action, consequences will be catastrophic.
#InsectDecline
U.S. butterfly populations have dropped by 22% in just two decades. However, MSU research shows that reducing unnecessary pesticide use could help them recover. To read more, click here: buff.ly/cMnosMX
