Ver, Comer y Saber: #Repost @slowfood_international (@get_repost) ・・・ Bees, butterflies, and other insect pollinators are in rapid decline, and the situation is becoming increasingly dramatic. Without bees, thousands of plant species that depent on these pollinators would go extinct, including three quarters of the commercial crops that feed the world. The recent midterm review of the EU Biodiversity Strategy reinforced the gravity of this startling reality. Last month, in order to confront this situation, the European Commission launched a public consultation. Beekeepers, citizens, businesses, environmental groups, and authorities are called on to provide their input, point out critical situations, and propose strategies for the formulation of an action plan.
