Pollinators need you. You need pollinators.
Birds, bats, bees, butterflies, beetles, and other small mammals pollinate plants. This creates much of the food we eat! At the same time, they sustain our ecosystems. How? By helping plants reproduce.
Pollinators carry pollen from plant to plant. This enables plants to create seeds, berries, nuts, and more. Essentially — to reproduce. In addition to creating fruits, vegetables, nuts and ½ of the world’s oils, fibers and raw materials, plants prevent soil erosion and increase carbon sequestration!
This nearly invisible ecosystem service needs our attention and support. Learn more about pollination here: https://www.pollinator.org/pollinators.
