Insect Declines Could Leave Wildlife Without Food or Shelter
Original: Insect Declines Could Leave Wildlife Without Food, Shelter, and Defenses
New reporting highlights how falling insect populations threaten more than pollination: many birds, mammals, and other animals depend on insects for food, while some rely on them for shelter materials or chemical defenses against predators. Conservation writers warn that continued declines could ripple through entire ecosystems, leaving vulnerable species struggling to survive.
Why now: Growing public concern over collapsing insect populations and their knock-on effects for wildlife and ecosystems.
