Last Born In The Wilderness

In this episode, I speak with Environmental Scientist and Ecologist Francisco Sánchez-Bayo. He is the lead-author of the scientific survey, Worldwide decline of the entomofauna: A review of its drivers, co-authored with Kris Wyckhuys, which reviews dozens of contemporary research from around the world documenting the rapid decline of global insect populations, indicating that most species of insects are likely to become extinct by the end of the century. The paper also examines the primary drivers behind the loss of global insect biodiversity, which has pushed over 40% of insect species towards extinction within the next few decades, and the majority of insect species by the end of the century. // Episode notes: https://www.lastborninthewilderness.com/episodes/francisco-sanchez-bayo // Sustain + support: https://www.patreon.com/lastborninthewilderness // Donate: https://www.paypal.me/lastbornpodcast
