Pollinator Declines

Pollinator declines refer to the decreasing populations of species that help plants reproduce by transferring pollen, such as bees, butterflies, and birds. This decline is primarily caused by habitat loss, pesticide use, climate change, and disease. As pollinators are crucial for the growth of many fruits, vegetables, and flowers, their decline poses a threat to global food security and biodiversity. Protecting pollinators involves creating habitats, reducing chemical use, and supporting sustainable farming practices to ensure these essential creatures can thrive.
