The Insect Apocalypse: What’s Happening, Why it Matters, and What to Do

“Insect abundances have been declining in many parts of the world. Many of us can even recognize the “windshield effect”– that in recent years far fewer insects splatter on our windshields during the summer.

This talk will journey through causes of insect declines, the importance of insects for ecosystem functions (not just providing bird food!), and will cover what we can all do to help.
