AgreementStrong agreement
Most discussions strongly support the idea that ecosystem disruptions, particularly bat declines, lead to increased pesticide use and associated negative health impacts, as evidenced by phrases like 'protect biodiversity & ecosystems = protect people too!
InterestHigh interest
The posts demonstrate high curiosity and concern, with mentions of scientific studies, linking biodiversity to human health, and emphasizing the importance of ecosystem preservation.
EngagementHigh engagement
Discussions include references to specific studies, mention of scientific publications, and calls to action, showing deep involvement and thoughtful analysis.
ImpactHigh impact
The discussions highlight significant consequences of ecosystem loss, such as increased infant mortality and higher pesticide usage, indicating perceived high societal and health impacts.

Biodiversity is declining, yet we have limited knowledge about how that affects human well-being. My work linking bats, insecticide use, and human infant health is out today in Science (science.org/doi/10.1126/science.adg0344), and tells a complex story about how those are connected.

@bcnaturalist @BBCPolitics This paper needs more airtime. Not only did loss of bats result in greater costs (30% more pesticides), & lower crop yields (loss of profits $$$), it also resulted in an 8% increase in human infant mortality rates. #CareAboutTheBats @_BCT_

I agree that all these issues need to be given proper consideration but if your starting point is climate change isn’t real and raw water and raw milk shouldn’t be regulated what good will come of it.

Quite surprising to see:
"The study [https://t.co/C0c2H7xral] published in Science on Thursday, found that farmers dramatically increased pesticide use after the bat die-offs, which was in turn linked to an average infant mortality increase of nearly 8%."
