Help Fireflies Before They're Gone in a Flash
There are 2,000 firefly species across the world, and 200 species live here in the United States. Sadly, the firefly species is declining. Due to habitat loss, as well as both chemical and light pollution, humans are negatively impacting these nocturnal pollinators. And, some of these species are habitat-specific, which means they could be lost forever if their habitat isn't preserved. Much of the research around the decline of the firefly is fairly new, but there are ways you can help.
Check out this blog post to find out how you can ensure the night sky is lit up with these vital pollinators for future generations.
