Скачать или смотреть Pollinators in Peril Bees, Butterflies, and Ecosystem Services

Pollinators — bees, butterflies, moths, bats, and birds — quietly power the ecosystems and food systems we all rely on. In this video we explain why pollinators are so important, what’s causing their decline, and what practical steps people can take to help. From habitat loss and pesticides to climate change and disease, we break down the main threats and show how they ripple through ecosystems and agriculture. You’ll also hear about conservation solutions, community science efforts, and simple actions you can do at home or in your neighborhood to make a real difference.

What you’ll learn:

Why pollinators matter for biodiversity, food security, and the economy
Key drivers of pollinator decline and how they interact
Real-world conservation approaches and policy directions
Easy, effective actions you can take to support pollinators
Take action:

Plant native, pollinator-friendly flowers and aim for continuous bloom
Avoid or minimize pesticides; choose targeted, least-toxic options
Provide nesting habitat (leave bare ground patches, dead wood, or install bee hotels)
Support local farms and buy seasonal, diverse produce
Join citizen science projects (iNaturalist, local butterfly or bee counts)
