The Insect Crisis

The Fall of the Tiny Empires That Run the World

By Oliver Milman

After a prologue imagining a post-apocalyptic world without insects, the author turns to science to explore the very real consequences of their disappearance. Drawing on research and studies from around the globe, he reveals the alarming decline of insect populations and challenges us to reconsider our relationship with these often-overlooked creatures that play a vital role in sustaining ecosystems.

He concludes by emphasizing the urgency of taking action before it’s too late.
