A global team of scientists has concluded that 23 biodiversity targets agreed by world governments could help reverse falling insect numbers if successfully implemented by 2030. The research suggests these international conservation goals are well-designed to protect and restore nature for the world's most overlooked creatures.
Insects face widespread population declines globally, making them a critical indicator of ecosystem health. The biodiversity targets represent a coordinated international effort to address nature loss, with insects serving as a key test case for conservation effectiveness.
