The economist writes in its latest issue: “Mankind appropriates about a quarter of what is known as the net primary production of the Earth (this is the plant tissue created by photosynthesis).” This is one of about 13-14 million species, two thirds of which are insects and 99% of which are smaller than bumble bees, and only about 1.5-1.8 million of which have been classified.

That’s pretty hefty for one species.
