This article discusses the global efforts to protect fireflies and glowworms, which are facing challenges like habitat loss, pesticide use, and artificial light pollution. Fireflies hold cultural significance in many Asian countries and are celebrated for their bioluminescence. The decline of fireflies is part of a larger decline in insect populations, with 40% of insects at risk of extinction. Conservation efforts include establishing firefly sanctuaries, promoting responsible firefly tourism, and advocating for regulations to reduce light pollution. Protecting fireflies not only preserves their magical displays but also has ecological and human health benefits. [Extracted from the article] |
