Last updated: September 18, 2025, 19:01 IST Insect population that decreased: 20 years of study revealed that the population of flying insects fell by 72%. It is a threat to biodiversity and human life. The reduction of insects threatened biodiversity. (Photos: US government sites) New -Delhi: The small in the latest research revealed that their number was rapidly decreasing in the hilly areas far from the presence of people. The team of North Carolina University in the US monitored the population of insects from 2004 to 2024 in areas with the height of Colorado. This area is almost untouched by farming, pollution or urban detail. According to the study published in the Ecology Journal, the results were shocking. The number of insects flying in 20 years fell by 72%. Each year, an average reduction is recorded by 6.6%. Why are insects needed for the earth? Insects are not just tight creatures. This is the backbone of the ecosystem of the earth. They carry out pollination, which alive crops and trees. These nutrients reinforce the process of cycling and rot. Insects are also food for birds, fish and other organisms. That is, if insects disappear, the whole food chain will be at risk. Climate change The greatest discovery of this research was that there was no direct human pressure on insects here. Nevertheless, the number has decreased quickly. The reason was the rising temperature. The increasing summer heat affected their life cycle and breeding. This proves that climate change no longer leaves even distant areas. This study corresponds to the insect crisis recorded in North America and Europe. The difference is that it became clear for the first time that the same situation in the areas that were dismissed from people. This means that the problem is no longer limited to urbanization or pollution. This is the effect of direct global warming. What will be the effect of this change? This warning is very important for countries such as India, where farming is completely dependent on pollination and insects. If this trend continues, crop production, water cycle and health health will be affected. Scientists say that monitoring should be increased on insects, not only in the countries or cities, but also in mountains and forests. Concrete steps must also be taken to reduce the velocity of climate change. About author Deepak Verma Deepak Verma is a journey currently operating as deputy news editor in News18 Hindi (digital).
