It is impressive to see how humans drive so many ecosystem engineers and keystone species towards their extinction (& ours) even without being aware. These tiny animals are essential!

5/8 In 2021, leading scientists in PNAS warned explicitly about a “ghastly future”- massive biodiversity loss, collapsing ecosystems, and leaders doing absolutely nothing meaningful. We were warned, clearly. pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2023989118

@KarolusWangus @IPBES Then there's the massive global decline in insect numbers. I could go on about plastic pollution, pesticide oceanic decline, and a 1001 other trends, all getting far worse. It's simple, on every measure, it continues to get much worse i.e. no progress. https://t.co/rW4UZndxJz 8/

@bollyweed We've killed off about 45% of all insects so I guess them making a comeback is a good thing? But of all the things that need to make a comeback...

@ArtDigbySellars @ninaturner https://t.co/82Kq1IuzpF I drove through rural Amish country of Ohio last weekend at night. Bugs should be covering up the windshield. There is no drought, no fires, and no overpopulation of people that's causing this. At least not in that area.
