Extinct and Endangered: Insects in Peril New York Performances

At AMNH Exhibitions, *Extinct and Endangered: Insects in Peril* considers insect life at the edge of disappearance, using specimens, visuals, and research to track what has been lost and what is now at risk. The show links local observations to global pressures such as habitat change, pesticides, invasive species, and warming climates. In New York City, where biodiversity is often treated as background noise, it makes a plain argument: small organisms underpin large systems. Its most pointed move is how it frames extinction as a recordable event, not an abstract warning.
