Los insectos, con más de un millón de especies conocidas, representan más del 60 por ciento de toda la biodiversidad existente. Es un grupo imprescindible para la vida, que proporciona importantes beneficios a nuestra salud y la del planeta. Actualmente asistimos a un grave descenso de sus poblaciones en todo el mundo y a una creciente desaparición de especies. Las causas de su declive son múltiples, pero hay una a la que se ha prestado poca atención a pesar de su alto impacto y que se debe al abandono de usos tradicionales agropecuarios que provocan profundos cambios en el paisaje, por lo que se pierde diversidad de hábitats a través de la intensificación agrícola y ganadera, que busca productividad sin tener en cuenta la biodiversidad. Palabras clave: insectos, biodiversidad, salud, declive de especies, agrosistema, intensificación agraria. Abstract: Insects, with more than a million known species, represent more than 60 percent of all existing biodiversity. They are an essential group for life, providing significant benefits to our health and that of the planet. We are currently witnessing a severe decline in their populations worldwide and an increasing disappearance of species. The causes of their decline are multiple, but there is one that has received little attention despite its high impact, the abandonment of traditional agricultural uses that cause profound changes in the landscape, resulting in a loss of habitat diversity through agricultural and livestock intensification, which seeks productivity without taking into account biodiversity. Keywords: insects, biodiversity, health, species decline, agrosystem, agricultural intensification
