Description
Global insect biodiversity is at a major decline. The drop in population can largely be attributed to a loss of natural habitat through conversion into urban and agricultural land. Insects are important parts of food webs and many play an important role in pollination, control of weeds, control of agricultural pests, and the decomposition of wood and leaves.
