As part of a hearing in Saxony’s State Parliament on the causes of insect decline on March 2, 2018, scientists from iDiv, Senckenberg and UFZ provided their expertise, next to representatives of agriculture and other organizations. The scientists unanimously stressed the need to act now, especially since both the facts of insect decline and its main causes are undisputed.
