John,

Scientists just sounded the alarm: Bees are dropping dead all over Africa.

And who’s behind it? You guessed it, Bayer’s bee-killing pesticides.

Thanks to you, Bayer is finding it harder and harder to sell neonics in Europe. So it decided to take its bee-killing business to Africa and flood the market with cheap neonics. Beekeepers have already reported plummeting numbers.

A brave group of scientists in Ghana is fighting hard to get Bayer’s neonics banned, before it’s too late.

But they’re operating on a shoestring -- so they’ve asked for your help to build the evidence they desperately need to send Bayer’s pesticides packing.

Can you chip in $1 to support these brave scientists taking on Bayer-Monsanto?

In Ghana, Bayer’s pesticides are already having a devastating impact. Cocoa covers over 30% of Ghanaian farmland, which is now loaded with lethal neurotoxins like imidacloprid, which leach into surrounding soil. Yields are falling and experts say it’s because these chemicals are harming key pollinators -- but to win over key officials, they need more evidence.

Ghana has an election coming up so it’s the perfect time to ramp up the pressure. With your help, Ghanaian scientists can run a study to show the damage neonics are wreaking on local biodiversity and then launch a huge advocacy and media push to get out the results.

Showing neonics are actually hurting Ghana's economy could shift the whole national conversation and help secure a ban -- that could spread across the continent. All they need is a little help to get started.
