This, along with the insect and amphibian apocalypses, require MUCH more attention.
While it gets less attention than climate change, and is intertwined with it (rapid habitat change, destruction, etc.), the real threat here is a collapse of the food web, which has far greater and faster consequences than climate change. Our species is entirely dependent on the planet's food web, and without it, our population drops to single-digit percentages really fast...
