SUMMARY - Pollinators, Soil Webs, and Nature’s Hidden Infrastructure

The biodiversity that matters most is often the hardest to see. Pollinators—bees, butterflies, moths, flies—make plant reproduction possible. Soil organisms—bacteria, fungi, nematodes, earthworms—cycle nutrients and maintain the fertility that agriculture depends on. These creatures work invisibly, providing services we take for granted until they fail. Their declines may matter more than the extinctions of charismatic megafauna, yet they receive far less attention.
