 Sadly author Morten D. D. Hansen suggests that while we can probably "save the bees" (he means wild + solitary bees, not Apis mellifera), we probably can't save all Danish butterflies whose numbers have plunged 75% in 30 years;  depredations of agriculture leading to fragmented habitat, nitrogen pollution wiping out heathland species and then the final death blow of the #ClimateChange fuelled drought of the terrible summer of 2018. 

We fight on.

 (that is species numbers have plunged by 75%). It's probably a #SignOfTheTimes that autocorrect automatically switches Apis to APIs too...
