Turns out ecologists and entomologists around the world have been warning about declining insect numbers for years. The culprits are climate change, habitat loss, light pollution, intensive farming, pesticide and fertiliser use. But it’s a struggle to get people to act.

It’s not just about bees and butterflies, the poster children of the pollinator world. Other, less photogenic pollinators such as hoverflies, moths, wasps, soldier beetles and earwigs are also showing declines. Several of these species don’t just pollinate. They also eat the pest insects that ruin crops.

Already, in the apple and pear orchards of south-west China, depleted populations of pollinators have forced farmers to hand-pollinate their trees, carrying pots of pollen and paintbrushes with which to individually pollinate every flower. If it sounds labour-intensive and time-consuming, that’s because it is.

#News: Landmark new report released by Changing Markets reveals #greenwashing by Big #Meat and #Dairy companies to delay, distract, and derail action to change the food system, mirroring strategies used by the #tobacco and #fossilfuel industries. #Food systems are responsible for around 1/3 of global greenhouse gas #emissions with approximately 60% coming from animal #agriculture, the largest source of man-made methane emissions. #BoycottMeat #BoycottPalmOil be #vegan https://changingmarkets.org/report/the-new-merchants-of-doubt-how-big-meat-and-dairy-avoid-climate-action/

#TragedyOfEnclosure #CattleWreckedLandscape: The Atlantic Forest, located along Brazil’s southern coast, has been in dire straits for decades, with expanding cities and #agriculture leaving only a small fraction of the #forest standing today. But the situation might be even worse than previously thought.
Several thousand tree species in the forest are threatened with extinction, a new study has found. Over 80% of endemic tree species are at risk of going extinct — and that’s a conservative estimate, the researchers said.

”Employees are expected to comply with this dress code in a manner consistent with their biological #gender.”—#Texas Department of #Agriculture memorandum

Ag Dept employees received an unwelcome surprise in a new dress code issued last week that seems aimed at oppressing #transgender and #nonbinary workers, reports Digital Editor Kit @oconnell based on a document leaked to us:

Amazingly, I am a part of an article submission today and a resubmission this week.

Neither article is my area of expertise, per se, but I made substantial contributions to both and learned a lot.

It's a great reminder that #science is a team sport. It's better and more productive to work together!
