Insects - including bees, butterflies and beetles - are under particular threat from the currently prevailing form of agriculture. The aggressive pesticides used there, but also the over-fertilization and insect-hostile private gardens rob them of food and habitat. Yet insects play an enormously important role in our ecosystem by pollinating wild and cultivated plants and also serve as food for various bird species. Studies have shown that so far there has been a decline of up to 80% in the biomass of insects. The 5 Euro Commemorative Coin - Insect Kingdom in proof quality is delivered in a protective coin capsule.
