The firefly population could be declining

by some authors, this decline is 3 orders of magnitude faster than what is inferred from fossil records of the last extinction event. global warming might increase that by an additional 2 orders of magnitude.

the good news is that it can still be partially reversed, if humanity acts quickly.

If the partial reversal is contingent on humans acting quickly, I'm not sure that is good news.

Humans act extremely quickly - in geological terms. That's part of the problem, of course. Unfortunately, it stands to reason that OP meant quickly in human terms.
