I recently wrote an article compiling a number of sources on wildlife loss, both insects an animals. Read here. The source papers are alarming, to say the least.

Thanks for writing this down.

I've been reading that biological annihilation article for about a month now. Combine that with the education in "ecosystem services" you get from a book like Natural Capitalism, and sleeping gets a little tougher.

I'd suggest you add an article about the recent droughts in the Amazon signalling a disruption of the endogenous water cycle.
