Top biologist and insect specialist, Dave Goulson, will cover biodiversity declines generally, then focus in on the huge threat associated with the accompanying insect decline.

He will present evidence of the decline, articulate the consequences and causes, and what we must do to reverse this frightening decline, focussing on urban areas and farmland.

Dave Goulson is Professor of Biology at University of Sussex, specializing in bee ecology. He has published more than 300 scientific articles on the ecology and conservation of bumblebees and other insects.
