The European Commission has launched a new effort that furthers the goals of the EU Pollinators Initiative. Through this effort, the EC aims to map all initiatives throughout Europe that focus on preserving wild pollinating insects.

This effort was introduced along with a letter by the Commissioner for Environment, Oceans and Fisheries – Virginijus Sinkevičius. In this letter he stresses the urgency of protecting pollinators, for the environment, but also for our food, health and economy, and asks people to help in mobilising action for pollinators. Furthermore, to help the implementation and actions of the EU Pollinators Initiative, he presents an invitation to get your pollinator initiative on the map. By doing this, every European can then get involved in the protection of pollinators!

If you are coordinating an initiative on pollinators, put your initiative on the map by filling out this form.
