I am so glad you've highlighted this important issue, Chris! My conservation work at Runamuk focuses on beneficials: insects and soil microbial life. All of the "littles" who are so crucial to *every* ecosystem, yet often overlooked and devalued because of the "ick-factor" associated with them. Educating people about the roles these keystone species play is pivotal to their preservation. Great piece of writing! Thank you!🙏
