We’re facing a silent crisis — insects are disappearing at an alarming rate across the globe. In Germany, flying insect populations have plummeted by over 75%. In the U.S. and Costa Rica, it’s over 80%. And it’s not just happening in cities or farmlands — even protected areas are being affected.
This decline is driven by a web of threats: habitat loss, pesticides, climate change, pollution, and more. And the impact goes far beyond bugs — entire ecosystems are unraveling.
Insects pollinate our food, support wildlife, break down waste, and keep nature in balance. Their loss puts food security, biodiversity, and planetary health at risk.
But this story isn’t over. We still have time to act — and in this video, we explore how.
