AIPP 2015-2020: partners

All-Ireland Pollinator Plan 2015-2020 Partners

At the time of its original publication in September 2015, 68 governmental and non-governmental organisations from the North and South agreed to support the All-Ireland Pollinator Plan. Responsibility for delivering the 81 actions within the Plan was shared between these original partners. Across the following five year, many other organisations also agreed to help.

Implementation of the All-Ireland Pollinator Plan 2015-2020 was coordinated by the National Biodiversity Data Centre. The Project Officer position was funded by The Heritage Council and Bord Bía from 2016 to 2019. In 2020, the Project Officer position was funded by SuperValu.
