As discussed in our other articles on the subject, nowadays there we are aware of the close correlation between climate change and biodiversity as well as the survival of pollinators. A study published in Science Advances deals with analyzing this relationship, focusing on the change in the life of pollinators as a function of the change in types of plants grown.
The study showed if there is 75% of cultivated fields that depends on the activity of pollinators, a steady decrease in cultivated varieties together with the continuous pressure of climate change has led to a substantial loss in abundance of pollinators as well as in the variety of species. The areas most exposed to these risks are sub-Saharan Africa, the northern part of South America and the south-east Asia. In these areas mango crops, coffee and cocoa crops are at greatest risk since their survival depends very closely on those of pollinators. The longevity of these crops plays a vital role for the activity of small farmers but at the same time is the basis of the stability of the economy of the countries.
The goal is therefore to join these countries in the fight against the loss of biodiversity. One of the tools that can be used for this purpose is to rely on pollination services and also traying to mitigate climate change. Join us at Beeing to try to save the world as we know it, in its richness.
