Introduction to the All-Ireland Pollinator Plan

All-Ireland Pollinator Plan 2015-2020 Unfortunately our pollinators are in decline, and the problem is serious. One third of our 99 bee species are threatened with extinction from the island of Ireland. If we want them to be here to pollinate crops and wild plants for future generations, we need to manage the landscape in a more pollinator-friendly way and create a network of diverse and flower-rich habitats. The All-Ireland Pollinator Plan 2015-2020 is supported by over 80 governmental and non-governmental organisations who have pledged to deliver 81 actions to achieve this goal and make Ireland, North and South, more pollinator friendly. It is a shared plan of action. Everyone, from farmers to councils, local communities, businesses, schools, gardens and transport authorities have a role to play in the Pollinator Plan.
