Esoteric Detective | HONEY BEES AND BUTTERFLIES headed for EXTINCTION new 2016 United Nations report shows @EsotericDetective6 | Uploaded February 2016 | Updated October 2024, 7 hours ago.
Honey Bees and Butterflies going extinct, says new UN report. And it will be a disaster for humanity.
Many species of wild bees, butterflies and other animals that pollinate plants are shrinking toward extinction, and our food supplies could be about to suffer, warns the UN.
The 20,000 or so species of pollinators are key to hundreds of billions of dollars' worth of crops each year, from fruits and vegetables to coffee and chocolate.
'We are in a period of decline and there are going to be increasing consequences,' said report lead author Simon Potts, director of Environmental Research at the University of Reading in England.
And it's not just honeybees. In some aspects they're doing better than many of their wild counterparts, like the bumblebee, despite dramatic long-term declines in the United States.
The report is the result of more than two years of work by scientists across the globe who got together under several different UN agencies to come up with an assessment of Earth's biodiversity, starting with the pollinators.
'Pesticides, particularly insecticides, have been demonstrated to have a broad range of lethal and sub-lethal effects on pollinators in controlled experimental conditions,' the report added.
What do you guys think? Isn't it sad to think one day soon, we might be living in a world without butterflies and bees? Or do you think the report is missing something, and that were are not on the edge of disaster as it outlines?
