正文(英文) | Environment Secretary Michael Gove has announced a £60,000 fund to develop and test pollinator habitat mapping. ![]() Environment Secretary Michael Gove has today (25 October) launched a £60,000 fund to develop and test pollinator habitat mapping – identifying where new habitats will provide the greatest benefit for bees and other pollinators. This will help to boost the number of pollinator-friendly landscapes and protect the health of our bees, wasps, beetles, butterflies, moths and hoverflies, as set out in the Government’s 25 Year Environment Plan. These species are critical to our countryside and the food industry through the work they do to pollinate plants and crops. The project will involve partnering with organisations such as Natural England, Buglife, The Wildlife Trusts and other bodies working on habitat mapping and the conservation of pollinators. Environment Secretary Michael Gove said:
The government is also announcing today investment in two projects to create pollinator-friendly landscapes:
The value of the UK’s 1,500 species of pollinators to crops is estimated to be £400 – 680 million per year due to improved productivity. Past losses of flower-rich habitats are known to have driven a loss of diversity in our pollinators, which is why this funding is vital to help protect their future. Ben Bradley MP, who has been campaigning on pollinator habitat mapping, said:
Craig Macadam, Conservation Director at Buglife, said:
Joan Edwards, Director of Public Affairs at The Wildlife Trusts, says:
In April 2018, the government voted in favour of further restrictions on the use of three neonicotinoids due to their harmful effects on bees and other pollinators. The measures will come into force at the end of the year. The National Pollinator Strategy is a 10 year plan which sets out how government, beekeepers, conservation groups, farmers and researchers can work together to improve the status of the pollinating insects in England. The government has also committed to bringing forward the first Environment Bill in over 20 years, set to be introduced in 2019.
