Foreword by Gillian Burke
This charming little book has the potential to make a significant impact, so let's jump right in! Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall introduces us to the intelligent insects, magnificent minibeasts, and inspirational invertebrates that enrich our planet's life. Discover how we can adopt a "rebug" mindset and embrace these remarkable insects, ensuring we avoid an "insectageddon" and support each other's thriving.
In Rebugging the Planet, Vicki Hird showcases the beauty, ingenuity, and economic value of bugs. They play crucial roles in pollinating plants, feeding birds, protecting crops, and maintaining water systems. However, with 40% of insect species facing extinction and another third endangered, our planet is on the brink of an insect apocalypse. It's time to give worms, spiders, beetles, ladybirds, and butterflies the space they need to flourish!
Discover how to:
1. Create a garden that embraces a little wildness, opting for weedkiller-free, wildlife-friendly plants.
2. Engage your children in a bug treasure hunt and build a bug palace in your garden.
3. Rebug parks, schools, pavements, verges, and other green spaces.
4. Make bug-friendly food choices and support sustainable farming practices.
Rebugging the Planet demonstrates that small changes can have a profound impact on our smallest allies and our planet. Hird's infectious enthusiasm for bug life and her encyclopedic knowledge make this book a must-read for anyone who has ever wondered about the contributions of bugs to our lives.
