Is this a plan to eliminate mosquitoes? Are there concerns about eliminating an entire tier of the food chain?
Surely this would be bad for the things that eat mosquitoes. And the things that eat those things etc.

Those mosquitoes had it coming for a long, long time.
But I have only now thought out of a different reason. Basically we had the choice of either living with malaria mosquitoes or converting all of wetland into dry land, completely destroying ecosystem that was there. But now we have option of just eliminating mosquitoes while leaving the rest of wetland intact. To me it does sound like a plan.
I'm a little dubious myself, but I do hate mosquito bites, and I don't even live in a malaria zone.
(I don’t mean to sound blasé, especially given the environmental pressures facing so many insects, but I won’t shed a tear for mosquitos.)
