Today, over 20,000 bee species are buzzing for #WorldBeeDay

Bees and other pollinators keep 80% of crops & wild plants alive.

Yet, 1 in 10 bee, hoverfly, and butterfly species are now at risk of extinction in the EU.

The New Deal for Pollinators aims to reverse this before 2030, by:

Mitigating the impacts of pollution, including pesticides
Restoring degraded ecosystems
️Protecting habitats
Taking action to protect the most threatened species
