A third of the food we eat depends on pollination by bees and other pollinators, yet their species are declining in many parts of the world. 24% of Europe’s bumblebee species are threatened with extinction and several once-common North American species like the Rusty Patched Bumble Bee picture here are federally listed as endangered. (More info)
We humans, of course, have caused the crisis, mostly through habitat destruction, climate change, introduced diseases, and use of pesticides. And only we humans can turn it around.
Will you help us save bees like the Rusty Patched Bumble Bee and other p0llinators as well? You can help by purchasing this Save the Bees subscription.
Where Does the Money Go?
A portion of every dollar (after credit card fees) is spent as follows:
- Habitat Conservation: 50% is donated to Pollinator Partnership, a leading pollinator nonprofit, to restore pollinator habitat
- Education & Advocacy: 50% is used to support Climate Action Now’s citizen education and advocacy on behalf of bees and other species, through our actions, Action Parties, and thousands of messages to our elected leaders advocating for pollinator-friendly laws and regulations
