Description
Dave Goulson explores the connections between climate change, nature, wildlife, and plants, and the shrinking biodiversity, analyzing the detrimental impact on the planet and its inhabitants. According to Goulson, it is not too late to stop this decline, and Silent Earth is an urgent call to action. * Based on thirty years of research, Dave Goulson has written a clear, fascinating, and important book that addresses the evidence of the alarming decline in insect populations worldwide. "If we lose insects, everything will collapse," he warned in an interview with the New York Times. The main cause of this decline in insect populations is the reckless use of chemical pesticides. He leans towards the conclusion of Rachel Carson's iconic book Silent Spring, which led to a worldwide ban on DDT after its publication in 1962. Soon, however, new pesticides were introduced, just as deadly as DDT, and humanity currently stands on the brink of a new crisis. What will happen when all insects completely disappear?
