昆虫多样性的保护现状与趋势

昆虫是自然界中种类最多的动物,在生态系统中具有重要的作用,但是昆虫在生物多样性保护中没有受到应有的重视.多个实例证明,很多昆虫种类处在数量下降甚至绝灭的状态.究其原因,人类的认识不足是导致昆虫多样性保护未受重视的主要原因,栖息地破坏是昆虫濒危的主要原因.由于昆虫生活史的特殊性,其保护策略与大型动物的保护有很大不同.昆虫多样性的保护可以与人类活动共存.

The status and trend of insect diversity conservation

Insects have more species than any other class of animal and play an important role in ecosystems but are often overlooked in biodiversity conservation.There is empirical evidence that many species of insects are declining,even going extinct.Lack of recognition is the major reason for neglecting insect conservation and habitat destruction is the major reason for insect extinction.Due to the distinctive life-history characteristics of insects,insect conservation strategies need to be very different from thos...
