POSTbrief alert: Understanding insect decline: data and drivers 🐝 This POSTbrief gives an in depth look into the data and drivers of insect decline. It's a companion to POSTnote 619: UK insect decline and extinctions. Read it here: bit.ly/2wMm7UH

Hugely proud of Bexi Robertson for doing such an amazing job with this POSTnote while on a POST Fellowship in Westminster. It's a really vital #policy-facing document that is essential reading for an up to date perspective on #insect #declines and #conservation.

A broad group of entomologists contributed to this POSTnote on #insect decline by BES POST Fellow, Bexi Robertson. It summarises for Parliamentarians what we know about declines, trends and interventions to guide policymaking #NIW2020 post.parliament.uk/research-brief… post.parliament.uk/research-brief…
