I don't know if you heard the part about the vast majority of plants being dependent on soil fungi for the majority of their nutrients

Sure commercial crops still make it to fruit because farmers take care to add the necessary fertilizers and plant hormones to keep them going, but rest assured that this is a major driver of plant extinction as well

Plants have the smallest trophic level. Without plants, there's no insects either. There's no way you could care about insect extinction and somehow not care about this issue
