Bees, butterflies, hummingbirds, and other pollinators help fertilize plants by trasferring pollen, enabling the growth of fruits, vegtables, and nuts. About 75% of flowerly plants and over 35% of global food crops depend on pollinators, making them vital for biodiversity and agriculural sustainability. If pollinators disapear wildlife and natural ecosystems would face severe consequences. Plants that rely on pollinators to reproduce would decline, reducing food and habitat for countless species. This would trigger a ripple effect throughout ecosystems including decline in biodiversity, loss of food sources, distruption of ecosystems, and food insecurity for humans and wildlife.

Pollinator Partnership’s mission is to promote the health of pollinators, critical to food and ecosystems, through conservation, education, and research. All of us can turn our backyards into pollinator gardens with some simple steps to help support pollinators.
