Silently, the insect apocalypse keeps unfolding -- billions of bees, butterflies, and other extraordinary tiny creatures are dying off, and the consequences may soon be catastrophic for our crops and fragile ecosystems worldwide.
Scientists as well as many others know only they hold the key for curing of many diseases, cancer and so much more that haunt mankind. My most recent blog will show you what is happening and how it is happening. They hold the key to keepin our ecosystems in a complete balance, as well as so many other predator animals on the Endangered Species List. Please we are ANGELS OF KINDNESS AND WE ARE THEIR ONLY VOICE TO KEEP THEM FROM EXTINCTION AND SAVE OUR PLANET...
Agricultural pesticides are among the key culprits. But now the European Union is considering an ambitious proposal to radically cut pesticide use by 2030 that could pave the way for a total phase out across Europe in 15 years. As a trading superpower, the EU has enormous influence on setting global standards -- and a win here could have ripple effects globally.
But first we must prevent the powerful chemical lobby from wrecking the plan. This is why we are joining an incredible coalition of environmental groups, farmers, beekeepers, and scientists to bring the 1 million citizen voices needed and ensure EU institutions address our demands.
And if we all join now, we will also empower key parliamentarians and officials with a massive boost of global public support so they resist the pressure, and help save our bees and butterflies from deadly pesticides. We've done it in the past, we can do this!
The number of insect species has declined by 50% in the past 50 years -- possibly more. These include the bumblebees, monarch butterflies, beetles and other beautiful pollinators that sustain much of our food supply and delicate ecosystems per Avaaz.
Protecting wildlife habitats remains a crucial part of the fight to stop the collapse of our insect populations -but it is equally important to tackle the flood of pesticides (2.5 million tons every year!) going into our fields, gardens and parks. There is mounting evidence that agricultural chemicals not only cause water and soil pollution, they’re also deadly to bees and other pollinators, as well as other species that drink from the water and eat the earth's vegetation.
All Advocates care deeply about bees and biodiversity. Avaaz and over 2 million of advocates are calling on world leaders to protect half our planet and stop the extinction crisis, and with over 5 million signatures, our call to save the bees is one of the biggest in Avaaz history. But we won’t win these campaigns unless we transform the way we produce food. This is our chance to make sure the EU leads and other countries follow. Let’s make it happen. PLEASE WE ARE THEIR VOICE AND ONLY VOICE, with the help of Avaarz and so many other organizations we can fix it!!!!
BRAVO AVAAZ and the 65 million global campaign networks that work together!!!
