Working to protect the smallest among us.
The countless organisms who form the foundation of life on Earth – in our fields, wilderness, and even backyards – are under threat.
Without insects, the entire web of interactions forming our biosphere collapses. SPI exists to protect these beings from disease, excessive pesticide use, climate impacts, and threats by outdated agricultural practices.
About Us
The Society for the Protection of Insects (SPI) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit focused on protecting insects in the U.S. SPI is operated by a group of grassroots scholars, advocates, and everyday citizens. Our work spans research, litigation, legislation, and public advocacy.
Initiatives
SPI is currently focused on four campaigns to protect insects and other wildlife: endangered species protection, pesticide reform, pathogen escape litigation, and climate change response.
“In nature nothing exists alone.”
