The National Biodiversity Data Centre has released a new video celebrating the work that has been done to help pollinating insects during the All-Ireland Pollinator Plan 2021-2025.
About the All-Ireland Pollinator Plan 2021-2025
Since 2015, the All-Ireland Pollinator Plan has been bringing together different sectors across the island of Ireland to transform the landscape for pollinating insects. The second phase (2021-2025) saw more involvement than ever from farmers, councils, communities, businesses, gardeners, schools and sports clubs.
Across the island of Ireland, people are coming together to mow less, spray less, protect native species and choose plants rich in nectar and pollen for their gardens. The impact of this work has been huge.
In this video, we hear from some of the people who have transformed their landscapes for pollinators as part of the All-Ireland Pollinator Plan 2021-2025 including local authorities, farmers, community groups, schools and sports clubs.
Thank you to all those involved in the making of this video, thank you to the Local Authority Heritage and Biodiversity Officer network for providing funding to develop this video, and to everyone who has taken action for pollinators over the past five years.
Next steps
Pollinator numbers are in decline, but local populations are increasing where actions are being taken to help them. Thank you to everyone who has taken action for pollinators as part of the All-Ireland Pollinator Plan. What we’re doing is working, but we need to do more.
