Pollinators—bees, butterflies, moths, hummingbirds, beetles, and bats—are vital to life in California. They sustain ecosystems, support biodiversity, and make possible much of the food we eat.
Yet pollinators are in decline. Habitat loss, pesticide use, climate change, disease, and industrial agriculture are pushing many species toward collapse. Their disappearance threatens not just plants and wildlife, but human health, nutrition, and ecological balance.

How you can help:
* Plant native, pesticide-free flowers.
* Support local, regenerative farmers.
* Avoid harmful chemicals in gardens and landscapes.
* Advocate for pollinator-friendly policies.
* Learn, share, and reconnect with the natural world.

Pollinators give us more than food. They are essential partners in the web of life. In protecting them, we protect our shared future.
