About the Event

Our well-being is tied to the health of our environment, yet we often look past the ways that ecosystems achieve balance. This talk will introduce our planet's original inhabitants and their key roles in pollination, decomposition and pest regulation. Join me for a spectacular visual journey through insect evolution, diversity, and ecosystem services. We'll finish with an exchange of practical tips that bolster the good work of Earth's essential and beautiful biodiversity.
