Sounds it bit fishy to me, but let’s go with it! Crazy California Fish Story
California fish and game received a court ruling that four species of bumblebees were Invertebrates.
Invertebrates definition:
Animals such as insects, worms, mollusks and stuff like jelly fish that have no backbone / spine.
California’s ruling makes it possible to list some of California most endangered pollinators to be listed endangered and protected by the California Endangered Species Act.
Okay, I get it, Bumblebees are not fish. Yet, expanding the definition of fish to include Bumblebees makes them eligible for better protection.
Keep in mind that eighty percent of all terrestrial life on Earth are flowering plants that need pollinators. Flying insects are the right pollinator for the job.
Dr. Glouson, University of Sussex did a study on flying insects back in 2012, his findings were astounding. His research show a seventy five percent decline in flying insect populations.
It’s an apocalyptic type scenario that our pollinator population are falling so quickly. Think about it, not only is the drought, gas prices, and inflation killing our food supply, but this will definitely add to it.
How to stop it, first let’s understand that climate change has very little to do with these insect population declines. The cause mosquito joe and the other corp companies that spray everything with pesticides.
Unabated insecticide use in the cities and on farming land is the main culprit. Putting a stop to just these two things would bring endangered insect back.
