Insect Apocalypse

What is a world without insects?

Scientists said disappearance of insects could affect our human existence for they said " fates of humans and insects are intertwined" that is because we need each other in an ecosystem of life. We cannot live without each other.



Pollination is very vital because it is where we get seeds to plant new plants and fruits and vegetables we eat. Plants need pollinators and pollinations to produce seeds,fruits and vegetables.Insects do pollinations and one of agents in pollination.

Insect apocalypse or insect declines is feared by some scientists and this decline of insect population they said could have very significant effects on us humans that we need to address and make an immediate actions lest it will happen what they fear.

There are causes of decline of insect population according to scientists,they are : (1) destruction of natural habitat, (2) intensive use of pesticides, (3) industrial pollution, (4) light pollution, (5) invasive alien species, (6) climate crisis.

" The key causes of insect losses,according to the scientists,are the destruction of natural habitat for farming and buildings; the intensive use of pesticides; industrial pollution and light pollution; and invasive alien species; and the climate crisis. " ( The Guardian )

" Insect population collapses have been reported in Germany,Puerto Rico and elsewhere. The first global scientific review,published in February 2019,said widespread declines threatened to cause a "catastrophic collapse of nature's ecosystem".Insects pollinate three-quarters of crops,and another recent study showed widespread losses of such insects across Britain," ( The Guardian )
