Why are insects currently dying out on such a large scale? What do they do for our ecosystem and what would a world without them look like? Eco-Poet Forrest Gander presents his poem about insects and humans. He is supported by journalist Tanja Busse who examines the question of how we can still save biodiversity in »Das Sterben der Anderen« (tr: The Death of Others).
