Why are insects so important?
Insects are essential to life on Earth. They play a vital role in pollination, ensuring the growth of much of the food we eat. They also break down waste and organic matter, imagine a world piled high with decay and dung without them. Some insects act as natural pest controllers, keeping harmful crop pests in check. And beyond that, insects are a critical food source for countless other animals.
Insects are the crucial glue of the world’s ecosystem.
