人類比想像中更倚賴自然，不僅僅是取之於自然，用之於食衣住行育樂中，有時候當我們靈感枯竭時，大自然總能提供我們意想不到的妙點子！這樣同時孕育著人類和上百萬種生物的地球，需要的是我們的守護而非貪婪的耗盡所有資源。值得一提的是，4/22是地球日，因此此月的首篇，邀請各位一同欣賞陸地上的生物吧！

站在自然巨人的肩膀 讀後心得

Insects are fascinating creatures that live weird and truly astonishing lives right under our noses. Often ignored or even detested, the world’s trillions of insects still work tirelessly to uphold our ecosystems and help humans survive.

We need them for pollination, for decomposition and soil formation; to serve as food for other animals, keep harmful organisms in check, disperse seeds, help us in our research and inspire us with their smart solutions.

Insects are nature’s little cogs that make the world go ‘round. Trouble is, it seems like many of these cogs are about to come loose.

Follow Anne on @annesver Anne Sverdrup-Thygeson is a Professor of Conservation Biology at the Norwegian University of Life Sciences and a scientific advisor for The Norwegian Institute for Nature Research. Anne’s research focuses on insect ecology and the relationship between biodiversity and ecosystem services, especially in the forest.
In addition to her scientific research, Anne invests much of her time in communicating her work to wider audiences. She has won multiple awards for her teaching, presenting and writing about biology. Her first book Insektenes Planet / Extraordinary Insects was published in Norway in 2018 and became an international bestseller with translations into more than 20 languages. She also runs a science blog and is a regular guest on radio and TV. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
