About the Presentation
Insects play critically important roles in nature that directly impact us. Things like food pollination, decomposition and soil fertility are all roles insects play. The world could not survive without insects. Unfortunately, insects are declining in abundance and diversity, and we risk losing the critically important functions they perform.
This presentation will explore the amazing beauty and diversity in the insect world, will discuss the ecological roles they play, and will present solutions that will stop their decline.
