Why are pollinators important?

Pollinators have been called humanity’s secret weapon in the fight against global warming. Here’s a piece of what the U.S Forest Service says about pollinators…

Without pollinators, the human race and all of earth’s ecosystems would not survive. Of the 1,400 crop plants grown around the world, i.e., those that produce all of our food and plant-based industrial products, almost 80% require pollination by animals.

Visits from bees, butterflies, and other critical pollinators result in larger, more flavorful fruits and higher crop yields. In the United States alone, the pollination of agricultural crops is valued at 10 billion dollars annually. Globally, pollination is valued at more than 3 trillion dollars.

More than 150 food crops in the U.S. depend on pollinators, including almost all fruit and grain crops.

More than half of the world’s diet of fats and oils comes from pollinated plants.

Virtually all of the world’s seed plants need to be pollinated. Pollen, seemingly insignificant yellow dust, is male plants’ reproductive cells, and is a vital link in the reproductive cycle in every natural ecosystem on earth.

With adequate pollination, all plants, and trees:

– Reproduce and produce enough seeds for dispersal and propagation

– Grow stronger and maximize the amount of carbon sequestered from the atmosphere

– Increase the quantity and quality of fruit they bear

– Maintain genetic diversity within the natural ecosystem

Pollinators are key to the reproduction of wild plants in our fragmented global landscape. Without them, existing populations of plants would decline; even if soil, air, nutrients, and other life-sustaining elements were available.
