Today, over 20,000 bee species are buzzing for #WorldBeeDay🐝
Bees and other pollinators keep 80% of crops & wild plants alive.
Yet, 1 in 10 bee, hoverfly, and butterfly species are now at risk of extinction in the EU.
The New Deal for Pollinators aims to reverse this before 2030, by:
🌿Mitigating the impacts of pollution, including pesticides
🌼Restoring degraded ecosystems
🛡️Protecting habitats
🌾Taking action to protect the most threatened species
