Pollinators in Peril, Our Food System in Crisis, and the Potential for Restoration Published: 3 May 2019 Article A number of climate change studies even predicted increasing insect populations and pest problems. While I think this loss has been overlooked as most people don't care much about insects and see them more as a nuisance than a benefit, their decline correlates with a decline in many other species.
