Insects are vanishing! Population drops by 72%, triggering biodiversity crisis
A recent study reveals a concerning decline in insect populations, even in remote, untouched ecosystems. Researchers observed a staggering 72% decrease in insect abundance in a Colorado subalpine meadow over two decades, linking it to rising summer temperatures. This alarming trend underscores the far-reaching impact of climate change on global biodiversity and ecosystem health, demanding urgent conservation action.
