A Reducing Buzz of Excitement!

It's been recently recognised that currently more than 2 million species are at risk of extinction. This is double the last United Nations estimate. This is largely because more attention has been paid to the invertebrates (https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/nov/08/species-at-risk-extinction-doubles-to-2-million-aoe). Invertebrates account for 97% of all animal species. A particularly important group are the insects, which include many organisms that providing 'ecoservices' such as pollination. The worry is, that with the disappearance of large numbers of insects, the viabilities of many terrestrial ecosystems will be jeopardised.
