Pollinator Protectors:
\nCreating HaBitat for Imperiled Pollinators<\/h3>\n

The Endangered Species Coalition creates habitat for native pollinators by putting local, native plant species in the ground at planting sites across the country. We’re working to address the leading cause of global species decline – habitat loss (land use change) – by actively increasing habitat for imperiled native pollinators, including the Monarch butterfly. Our plantings incorporate a range of species, including milkweed, the host plant for Monarch butterfly larvae, nectaring plants, and shelter plants, creating dynamic habitats where pollinators can survive and thrive. <\/p>\n

The creation or restoration of planting sites engages community partnerships of all kinds: farms, land trusts, schools, faith organizations, wildlife refuges, national historic monuments, and many, many other kinds of organizations. Community collaboration is essential to this work, reflecting the linked relationship between people and pollinators. Pollinator Protectors supports and spotlights ways local individuals and groups can develop healthy habitats  benefiting humans and non-human wildlife and plants, all at the same time. <\/p>\n

We support local native plant nurseries and rely on the expertise of native plant societies and Endangered Species Coalition Member Groups, along with guidance and knowledge from planting site partners, to select and install plants enhancing habitat for a rich diversity of species. Our native pollinators include species as wide ranging as bees, beetles, butterflies, moths, bats, hummingbirds, and more. Through collaboration and actions, we’re working to support Monarch butterflies and pollinators of all types, raising the profile of our unique native plants and native pollinators.<\/p>\n
