🌍 Protected areas are meant to shield species from threats — yet for insects, most don’t. In the newest episode of #InsideBiodiversity, Shawan Chowdhury of Monash University explains why insects were rarely considered when protected areas were designated, why threats inside and outside reserves often look the same, and what his research reveals about global coverage gaps. 🦋 If you want a clear look at how conservation planning considers insect species, this episode is well worth your time. 🎧 Listen to the conversation with iDiv host Volker Hahn: insidebiodiversity.podigee.io @shawan_c @MonashUni
