Overview

The IPBES has highlighted the critical role that pollinators play in maintaining ecosystem health. Habitat destruction and fragmentation have reduced the availability of natural habitats for pollinators, while pesticide use has had a devastating impact on pollinator populations. Climate change is altering the timing of plant-pollinator interactions. The creation of pollinator-friendly habitats can provide pollinators with the resources they need to thrive, and the reduction of pesticide use and the promotion of sustainable agriculture are critical for pollinator conservation.
