Let’s talk about the birds and the bees. And the bats, and the trees! We’re talking about pollinators. These incredibly important creatures include lots of species (not just bees), which include butterflies, birds, bats, beetles, moths and mosquitos… the list goes on and on, spanning about 200,000 species! Pollinators play an essential role in our world, making it possible for plants to grow and therefore for animals to eat those plants. Without pollinators, the food that feeds 90% of this world would cease to exist. The trees, which produce oxygen, would not survive. Numbers show that many of our human impacts on the environment are adversely affecting pollinators. Learn all about these interesting species and their roles, do fun activities and master how you can help pollinators thrive.
