The Importance of Insects in Sustaining Life on Earth
Insects are vital to life on Earth, making up 70% of all known species. Without them, starvation would be a real threat. However, their populations are declining due to climate change and human activities.
00:00:00 Insects are crucial to life on Earth, making up 70% of all known species. They are food for many animals and pollinators for plants. Without them, starvation would be a real threat.
๐ Insects make up around 70% of all known species on Earth and their biomass is 16 times that of humans.
๐ฆ Insects play a crucial role in life on Earth by being food sources for many animals, pollinators for plants, and contributing to ecosystems.
โ ๏ธ Many types of insects are facing significant challenges and declining populations.
00:01:04 Insects are crucial, but their populations are declining globally. Monarch butterflies down 80% in the US. Rats and light pollution contribute to their extinction.
๐ Insects are declining globally, with a 9% decline in land-dwelling insects per decade.

00:02:09 The importance of insects in maintaining biodiversity is threatened by climate change and human activities, leading to habitat destruction and declining populations.
๐ Insects are crucial to the Earth's ecosystem.
โ ๏ธ Insects face challenges from climate change.
๐ฅ Human activities have caused destruction to insect populations and their habitats.
00:03:13 The decline of insects, crucial for pollination, is caused by farming and pesticide use. We can protect them by rewilding our gardens and supporting nature-friendly farming.
๐ Insects are vital for farming and pollination, but their populations are declining due to pesticides.
๐ฑ To protect insects, we can rewild our gardens by planting wild flowers, reducing lawn-mowing, and avoiding pesticides.
๐ Creating nature-friendly cities and supporting sustainable farming are crucial for insect conservation.
00:04:20 Insects are crucial for the functioning of Earth. They are like rivets in an airplane's wing, keeping the planet running smoothly.
