February 6, 2018

A new study from German nature reserves reveals a 75% decline in flying insects over the past 27 years. What’s the reason? What are the implications – for farming and the food supply, for humanity, and for the biosphere? What can be done? Why should we care?

Chair: Sarah Woods (writer, narrative artist, Wales Green Hero).
Speakers: Dave Goulson (University of Sussex) and David Macdonald (University of Oxford).
