AgriLand: Linking agriculture and land use change to pollinator
populations New Insect Pollinators Initiative Website here!
There is growing evidence that both domestic honeybees and wild
pollinators are in trouble, and that many wildflowers that
depend on them for pollination are also declining. But are
pollinator declines driving flower losses or vice versa? Or are
other seperate factors causing the declines? The AgriLand
project will address these questions by surveying both
pollinators and wildflowers across the country, and by examining
the importance of land use and the structure of the British
landscape using historical datasets and national data on some of
the most likely causes of declines. The results of the project
will be widely communicated to stakeholders and policy makers to
help improve strategies to tackle the problem. Click on a link
