Pollinator Paradise Toolkit: Simple Version
Pollinators like native bees, butterflies and other insects and small animals transfer pollen from one plant to another, allowing plants to produce fruit and seeds that grow into new plants. Three quarters of the world’s flowering plants rely on pollinators to reproduce, including about a third of the food we eat! However, pollinators are threatened by habitat loss, urban sprawl, pesticides, lack of food sources and climate change, and many of our pollinator populations are in trouble. We need to act now to save our pollinators and the ecosystems that rely on them, and that we rely on too!
