Abstract： Insects have more species than any other class of animal and play an important role in ecosystems but are often overlooked in biodiversity conservation. There is empirical evidence that many species of insects are declining, even going extinct. Lack of recognition is the major reason for neglecting insect conservation and habitat destruction is the major reason for insect extinction. Due to the distinctive lifehistory characteristics of insects, insect conservation strategies need to be very different from those designed for vertebrate animals. Insect biodiversity conservation can also be compatible with human activities.
