Jane Goodall Institute selects Great Pollinator Hunt Conservation Congress for September Feature and inclusion in IUCN World Pollination is necessary for the reproduction of over 85% of the world's flowering plants, including more than 2/3s of the world's food crops and species.



Beekeepers of North Kohala All around our island, small groups of pollinator protectors are joining forces to establish bee hives in their backyards and farms, and are creating bee and butterfly gardens to provide a safe home to help regrow pollinator populations.



The Greenschool provides over 10 acres of butterfly and bee habitat on our organic farm in Hawaii. We are home to wild butterflies, moths, bees and other pollinators - and we foster breeding monarchs to help increase their population.
