Choose your climate future.

Dan Janzen, addressing the #ICE2022 global insect decline symposium from the dry tropics - he has witnessed big changes since the late 1960s, especially recently. Insect species once enormously abundant are notably missing. His message - there will be survivors. Be kind to them!
