May 22, 2013- Declines in the
biodiversity of pollinating insects and wild plants have slowed in recent
years, according to a new study.
Researchers led by the University of
Leeds and the Naturalis Biodiversity Centre in the Netherlands found evidence
of dramatic reductions in the diversity of species in Britain, Belgium and the
Netherlands between the 1950s and 1980s.
But the picture brightened markedly
after 1990, with a slowdown in local and national biodiversity losses among
bees, hoverflies and wild plants.
