Scientists reckon that around 400,000 species of insect are currently threatened with extinction largely by the overuse of man-made insecticides (https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2019/nov/13/insect-apocalypse-poses-risk-to-all-life-on-earth-conservationists-warn). Even worse, they are of the opinion that the loss of these important pollinators and food items will challenge the existence of many other species including we humans.
This blog may help people explore some of the 'hidden' issues involved in certain media treatments of environmental and scientific issues. Using personal digital images, it's also intended to emphasise seasonal (and other) changes in natural history of the Swansea (South Wales) area. The material should help participants in field-based modules and people generally interested in the natural world. The views are wholly those of the author.
