En Europe, l’effondrement des populations d’insectes est vertigineux

👉 Des chutes d’abondance de 70 % à 80 % au cours des dernières décennies dans les régions dominées par les activités humaines et l’agriculture intensive.

Insect populations are declining at an unprecedented rate in what some scientists are calling an Insect Apocalypse. Why is this happening? Scroll through this @Reuters interactive guide to get a closer look at this growing issue.

Hoverflies are the 2nd most important pollinators in the 🌍

Yet, the latest @IUCN report shows that 35% of them are at risk of extinction, mainly due to intensive agriculture & forestry, and #ClimateChange

Across Central Europe, companies are clear-cutting forests and grinding up centuries-old trees in the name of renewable energy. The Times went deep into one of Europe’s oldest woodlands to track the cost of using logged trees as a form of clean energy. https://t.co/rQpPFDn03j

Time is up for pesticides.

Cutting pesticides by 50% by 2030 was #EUFarm2Fork commitment.

Today we deliver. The time to act is now.

To achieve our goal, farmers will be fully supported financially through the transition to sustainable food systems. Nobody will be left behind.

[Virginijus Sinkevičius @VSinkevicius]

The Nature Restoration Law we’ll present on Wednesday, is first & foremost for people.

Europeans have been asking us to repair the damage done.
They demand a healthy environment.

We can deliver that together & for our farmers, foresters & all Europeans.
