[Pollinator] Insect declines in National Geographic

[Matthew Shepherd]

Hi everybody,



I know we’re all concerned about insect declines, since so many pollinators
are insects. National Geographic published two items yesterday on this
topic, an article and a graphic. It’s always nice to see such a
high-profile and respected magazine give page space to this. Unfortunately,
they are both behind a pay wall (I don’t blame NG for expecting payment;
like any media outlet, it needs to cover costs!), so I realize that not all
of you will be able to read them. I wanted to share them nevertheless.



Graphic: *5 vital roles insects play in our ecosystem*

Article: *Where have all the insects gone?*

https://www.nationalgeographic.com/magazine/2020/05/where-have-all-the-insects-gone-feature/



Xerces Society staff assisted NG’s journalists, researchers, and artists
with both of these.



Stay well,

Matthew
