Hi,
Nature's greatest love story is in trouble. As climate change accelerates, the cues that once synchronized pollinators with blooming flowers are becoming misaligned. Rising temperatures, extreme weather, and pesticide use are disrupting the intimate exchange leading to bee malnutrition, habitat loss, and missed connections between pollinators and plants.1
As their food sources dwindle and their rhythms fall out of sync, pollinators are losing the spark and with them, the future of our food and our forests.
This World Bee Day, help us bring back the spark. Donate to The Canopy Project and support reforestation efforts that restore pollinator-friendly habitats around the globe. <[link removed]>
Over 350,000 species, from butterflies and beetles to bats and bees, help transfer pollen from flower to flower, enabling the reproduction of plants that feed, clothe, and heal us. In fact, nearly 80% of crop plants that produce our food rely on pollination.2 Think plump strawberries, creamy avocados, juicy mangoes, and sweet chocolates. The more the pollinators, the juicer the fruit. However nearly 1,600 pollinator species in North America are at risk of extinction, and industrial agriculture is replacing wildflower meadows with sterile monocultures, collapsing colonies leaving the bees hungry.3
The good news? You can help reignite the flame.
Your donation to The Canopy Project plants the seeds of resilience creating pollinator friendly habitats, restoring degraded land, and helping bees fall in love with flowers all over again. <[link removed]>
Reforestation is one of the most important ways you can contribute to solving the challenges of climate change. Let’s make love to the Earth. One tree, one bloom, one buzz at a time.
For love,
Kathleen Rogers
President
