Pollinated species on the momentum of extinction

According to a new UN report, many invertebrate pollinators such as bees, butterflies and vertebrate pollinators such as hummingbirds and bats in the wild are on the brink of extinction.

According to a new UN report, many invertebrate pollinators such as bees, butterflies and vertebrate pollinators such as hummingbirds and bats in the wild are on the brink of extinction.

This report points to some "culprits" such as changing agricultural methods, so pollinators no longer have enough wildflowers or biodiversity to serve as food sources; the use of pesticides damages their nervous system; natural soil is gradually lost to urban construction, disease, helminths and other pathogens and global warming.

Pollinators are facing many threats, affecting pollination.

" Pollinators are facing many threats, affecting pollination, thereby posing risks for people and life. These threats mainly stem from these changes. Land surface and agricultural management system, which includes the use of pesticides , " the report writes.

However, the issues raised here are completely manageable, and unlike global warming, solutions do not require all nations to agree on a common course of action across bridge. Countries can handle themselves within their own countries, because the solutions here mainly revolve around changing the way land management and farming activities work. However, the report also warned and urged countries to soon embark on action because this phenomenon may affect food supply in the world.

This report is the result of more than two years of work by scientists all over the world from various UN organizations to assess the biodiversity on Earth, starting with species. pollination. Along with reports of global warming, this effort is also part of the United Nations' goal to provide world leaders with a full-text report on what is happening on Earth and make suggestions for them.
