Pollinators are essential. They contribute to the reproduction of plants, which is crucial for biodiversity and survival. But population numbers have dramatically dropped over the past few years due to pesticides, climate change, and more.
At this rate, it's hard to determine how much time there is left till there is permanent damage. It will take years to resolve all the harm that society has done to Earth. There need to be actions taken now to protect these critical species that will help the journey of restoring the world.
