Saving a Bug’s Life: Legal Solutions to Combat Insect
Biodiversity Decline and the Sixth Mass Extinction

On Friday, March 6, 2020, the UC Davis Environmental Law Society invites you to explore the world of insects as we bring together law and science to combat biodiversity decline and the sixth mass extinction. 

Insects have been called "the level pullers of the world." One study estimated that insects contribute over $57 billion a year to the U.S. economy. However, many species currently face extinction. ELS invites you to explore the world of insects as we bring together law and science to address biodiversity decline. Join us as experts in the field of entomology and agricultural sciences converse with leaders in government, legal scholars, and practitioners about the current threat to insect populations and how we can use legal tools, policy, and management practices to combat the sixth mass extinction.
