Join the Biodiversity Caucus for a free, educational event about pollinators in Nova Scotia.
Did you know that bumble bees dance when they find a flower? Or that Monarchs travel over 4,000 km from Nova Scotia to Mexico every year? These small but mighty insects can shape the very fabric of ecosystems and are vital for the survival of all life on land. And yet, climate change, habitat loss, diseases, and industrial agriculture have threatened many pollinators, including the yellow-banded bumble bee (Bombus terricola), gypsy cuckoo bumble bee (Bombus bohemicus), and monarchs (Danaus plexippus). Dwindling pollinator populations could have detrimental effects on global biodiversity and food security. By safeguarding pollinators, we can ensure they thrive and continue their invaluable role in supporting the delicate balance of life on our planet in forests, fields, farms, and beyond.
In this webinar, join Hannah de Loë (Kosick), author of "Bumble Bees of Unama'ki" and pollinator researcher with ACAP Cape Breton, and the ACAP team to learn more about the plight of local pollinators, species at risk, conservation efforts, and how you can help protect pollinators in your backyard.
