Description
Insects make up about half of all known living organisms.
They play key roles in, pollination, nutrient cycling, food
chains of birds and other insectivores, and are one of the
pillars of our ecosystems. However, the wide use
of insecticides, fragmentation of habitats and climate
change are placing multiple threats on them and their
populations are under sharp decline. This Foresight Brief
explores insect services, threats and solutions to sustain
insect populations.
