A landmark study warns us that 40% of the world's insect species are declining and a third are endangered -- having a catastrophic effect on our planet’s ecosystems.
The scientists don’t mince their words. This dramatic decline in insect numbers would be the largest extinction event on Earth for millions of years, as insects are a crucial food source for other wildlife, and pollinate our plants.
SumOfUs members are leading the fight against bee-killing pesticide corporations and intensive agriculture, that put their profits over the health of our bees and the planet. Just last year we won huge bans on Bayer's toxic pesticides in Europe and Canada.
But we can only do this with the incredible support of SumOfUs members like you, who donate so that SumOfUs can keep challenging pesticide lobbyists, take the fight directly to their shareholders, and force our governments to pass bee-saving legislation.
In light of this terrifying new report, can you chip in to help save the bees at this critical moment in history?
