MOSQUITOPIA: KILLING MOSQUITOES? THE PROS AND CONS

Presentation of different points of view regarding the possibility of eradicating mosquitoes from the globe. The question was proposed by Marcus Hall and Dan Tamir during the Rachel Carson Legacy Symposium, “Mosquitopia? The Place of Pests in a Healthy World” (24–27 October 2019). Information can be found in three blog posts:

1. Killing mosquitoes? The pros and the cons
2. A few reasons for saving mosquitoes
3. Key reasons for killing mosquitoes

The topic is also discussed in a book: Mosquitopia, The Place of Pests in a Healthy World published in 2022 by Earthscan as part of the Routledge Environmental Humanities series. The book is freely available as a PDF file.

The different points of view are presented in a short video.
