Farmland in climate-stressed areas, where most natural habitat has been removed, has lost 63% of its insects, shows research.

Impact of climate change on insects still under-studied

Climate change and intense agricultural land use have already resulted in a 49 percent decline in the number of insects in the most damaged places of the world, according to a new study by UCL researchers

A new study performed by the researchers of the University College London (UCL) finds that intensive agricultural land use and climate change have earlier been accountable for a 49% decrease in the number of insects in the majorly impacted parts of the world.

A new study by researchers at University College London (UCL) looked at 750,000 samples of 18,000 distinct insect species and found that the combination of habitat loss caused by big agriculture and climate change are having a drastic impact on global insect populations.

Intensive agriculture and climate change are responsible for a 49% reduction in the number of insects in the most impacted parts of the world

UCL researchers studied records of 20,000 insect species and found that in areas with high-intensity agriculture and climate warming, the number of insects was 49% lower than in natural habitats.

Combined pressures of global heating and farming can halve insect populations in some places - study.

There are some costs we cant pay to avert the climate crisis.

Last week, Vermont state officials told public schools to shake up their COVID-19 testing methods. In an email last Tuesday, districts were advised to switch from “test to stay,” a system in which school staff administer daily rapid tests to students...
