NOTES FROM THE FIELD | 2024 | No. 7

Pass It On

[link removed]

For one out of every three bites of food we eat, we can thank
pollinators. They ensure the health of ecosystems worldwide by helping
plants reproduce and supporting healthy biodiversity. Without them,
about 75 percent of all flowering plant species, including 1,200
agricultural crops, would not exist.

Pollinators are vital and closely interconnected with us and the
planet we share. They also face many threats. Bees, the undisputed
"world's top pollinator" champions, are experiencing
population declines as a result of pesticide use and habitat loss. The
good news is, we can all make a difference-at home and around
the globe.

To celebrate National Pollinator Week, June 17-23, you can help
these unsung heroes by avoiding pesticides and growing native plants
that produce nectar or otherwise support pollinators. For instance,
native milkweed

and provides a place to lay their eggs. As an ally for wildlife, your
support also fuels innovative, collaborative conservation efforts that
protect pollinators and the ecosystems we all rely on through our
eight global Conservation Hubs
