Pollinators are disappearing at an alarming rate. Wild bees, butterflies, hoverflies, moths and other species are under growing pressure from habitat loss, intensive agriculture, pollution, invasive species and climate change.
The consequences reach far beyond nature. Pollinators support food systems, ecosystem resilience and biodiversity worldwide.
But there is also growing momentum behind solutions. New initiatives are emerging to restore habitats, improve monitoring, strengthen policy and support practical conservation on the ground.
This World Bee Day, under the theme “Bee together for people and the planet – A partnership that sustains us all.”, we spotlight some of the initiatives and the people driving efforts to scale up pollinator conservation. |
