Dragonflies in Distress: Scientists Raise Alarm in One of India’s Richest Ecosystems

Scientists are warning of a sharp decline in dragonfly populations in one of India’s most biodiverse regions, signaling worsening environmental conditions. The insects, key indicators of freshwater ecosystem health, are being affected by habitat loss, pollution, pesticide use, and climate change. Experts say their disappearance could disrupt ecosystems and even impact mosquito control, urging immediate conservation efforts to protect fragile water habitats and biodiversity.
