Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community

1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.

2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.

3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.

4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.

5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.

6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.

This is old thinking at this point. There are other things affecting insect populations that a garden will not fix.

Still plant a garden though!

I get that they are talking about the numbers recorded are shrinking, but they are also talking about them never returning.

I wonder if part of it is they've underestimated how important part of the rewilding process zoology is.

They should have had vivariums of as many local varieties as reasonable along with every other type of breeding program. I know 10k species etc, but giving a jump start to an area with trees is missing the point that they are one part of the ecology.

And then to make it even more complex, the more diverse number of soil species that dwarfs the above ground species that are more fragile to hooves, fire, and UV that have been completely lost (not even studied before they were lost).

Humans could have kept track of a percentage of above ground species for introduction but the technology was barely there to even imagine what was lost in erosion and fire. And that likely underpins everything above ground.

It sucks but we keep on soldiering on.
