Faith-based pollinator protection

As pollinators, bees are central to the preservation of our ecosystems and ensuring our food security. Yet our fields of grain have become too big for them to fly across, and the poisons used to kill insects that might eat our crops are deadly to bees as well. Should they die, we will lose a significant portion of our cultural and religious heritage as well as much of what we eat. The loss will be catastrophic.
 
People of faith are joining ranks with environmentalists and ecologists to contribute to preserving our pollinators. They do so for the same reasons, but sometimes with additional motivations: to help preserve the natural foundations of peoples whose food security is being threatened; to cooperate with poor people in finding new, sustainable sources of income; to strengthen their own communities with holistic occupations; to promote peace between disparate groups of people, thereby also fostering a healthier environment, social and ecological. Here you can find a constantly growing list of faith-based initiatives engaging in pollinator protection.
