According to research: found that the world's insect population has declined by about 27% over the past 30 years. Experts say the situation is alarming.
According to a study in a scientific journal, flies and insects that feed on the beauty of the world are declining at a rate of one percent per year. "Although the rate of insect population decline in this study is lower than in previous studies, it is still a dangerous situation," said Revel van Klank, author of the study. Nick Head of Michigan State University says the situation is really dire. This shows how much climate change and other factors are harming our natural environment. These include eco-friendly species of insects, whose food is insects that damage crops. Insect populations are declining rapidly, especially in the North American states and many European countries.
The figures are based on data from 10,000 species of insects and 1,676 locations. Particularly in the Midwest, these insects are declining at a rate of less than 4 percent. Van Klank says the insects in these areas have difficulty finding food and do not have their natural habitat. Where did they go?
However, some researchers say that this research is understandable. But its scope was limited. It does not include African countries and many other areas. Researcher Rev. Van Klank says the rapid increase in urban populations may be one of the reasons.
Insects are more common in such areas. Where there are flowering plants and trees. Research has shown that while the number of insects crawling on the ground is decreasing, the number of flying insects, including mosquitoes, is increasing.
