Have you ever stopped to think just how important insect biodiversity is to human life? Our ecosystems rely on the hard work of insects for important functions, such as pollination, which helps to put food on our plates. However, biodiversity declines are threatening the future sustainability of insect populations. Join us as we explore what we know (and what we don’t know) about insect biodiversity in the natural world – from exploring new ways to track insect population using weather radars, to why current farming practices are so bad for bees. We are buzzing to see you there.
We will be asking for a donation of the price of a drink to help us cover our running costs.
