正文(英文) | Simple actions to help pollinators and protect the vital contribution these insects make to our economy. Five simple actions to help pollinators such as planting more bee-friendly flowers and cutting grass less often were promoted today to protect the vital contribution these insects make to our economy. The five actions form part of a call to action launched by Environment Minister Lord de Mauley today at a conference organised by Plantlife, the Rare Breeds Survival Trust and The Wildlife Trusts, to encourage people to do their bit to help insects such bees and butterflies. Pollinators provide variety in our diets and some crops, like raspberries, apples and pears, particularly need insect pollination to produce good yields of high quality fruit. Research has estimated the value of insect pollination to crops at around £400 million due to increases in yield and quality of seeds and fruit. Lord de Mauley said:
Five simple actionsWhether people live in a town or in the countryside, they are being urged to help create or improve a habitat for pollinators in five simple ways:
The five simple actions were drawn up with experts from Natural England, the Food and Environment Research Agency, conservation charities and the research community. There are at least 1500 species of insect pollinators in the UK. This includes 26 species of bumble bee, 260 solitary bees, 1 honey bee species and hundreds of types of hoverflies, butterflies and moths. Defra will be publishing a national strategy for pollinators in the Autumn, following a public consultation earlier this year.
