ABSTRACT
Insects, often overlooked due to their small size and ubiquity, are the unsung heroes of global ecosystems. Playing pivotal roles as pollinators, decomposers, nutrient cyclers, and food sources for countless animals, insects underpin the stability of both natural and agricultural systems. However, recent decades have seen an alarming decline in insect populations worldwide; a phenomenon that has far-reaching implications for biodiversity, ecosystem function, and human well-being. This editorial explores the current state of global insect populations, the environmental factors contributing to their decline, and the potential consequences if these trends continue. It has been tried to present an overview how environmental changes, including habitat loss, pesticide use, climate change and pollution are driving this silent crisis.
