SUMMARY:A Win-Win for Insects: Nature-Based Climate Solutions Address both Climate Change and Biodiversity Concerns
DESCRIPTION:Join Xerces Society Executive Director\, Scott Black\, as we kick off our next webinar series: Threats and Solutions. With well over one million known species\, insects and other invertebrates eclipse all other forms of life on Earth. They are essential to the reproduction of most flowering plants\, including many fruits\, vegetables\, and nuts; they are food for birds\, fish\, and other animals; they filter water and help clean rivers and streams; and they clean up waste from plants and animals. Just four of the many insect services—dung burial\, pest control\, pollination\, and wildlife nutrition—have an estimated annual value in the United States alone of at least $70 billion. \nThough they are indisputably important\, insects and other invertebrates are experiencing a multicontinental crisis evident as reductions in abundance\, diversity and biomass. Given the centrality of insects to terrestrial and freshwater aquatic ecosystems and the food chain that supports humans\, the potential importance of this crisis cannot be overstated. \nThe loss of insect diversity is driven by habitat loss and degradation\, pesticide use\, climate change\, diseases and more. The science is clear: It is impossible to address the loss of biodiversity without addressing climate change\, but equally impossible to tackle the full impacts of climate change without working to protect and enhance biodiversity. Scott will discuss how nature-based solutions can address both. \nThis webinar will be recorded and available on our YouTube channel. Closed Captioning will be available during this webinar. \n  \nScott Black\nExecutive Director – The Xerces Society \nScott Black is an internationally renowned conservationist who has been at the forefront of the conservation movement for three decades. Scott’s work has led to protection and restoration of habitat on millions of acres of rangelands\, forests\, and farmland as well as protection for many endangered species.
