style=\"box-sizing:border-box;background:transparent;color:rgb(0,110,154)\">Assembly Bill 221<\/a>&nbsp;would change that by defining \u201cnon-pest invertebrate wildlife species of greatest conservation need\u201d as wildlife.<\/p>\n<p style=\"box-sizing:border-box;margin:0px 0px 10px;font-family:\" open=\"\" sans\",sans-serif\"=\"\">\u201cNevada has an incredible diversity of bees and butterflies that are the engines powering the state\u2019s beautiful desert ecosystems,\u201d said Patrick Donnelly, Great Basin director at the Center for Biological Diversity. \u201cWe need the Department of Wildlife to have the tools to conserve these amazing creatures. We\u2019re grateful this bill will get a hearing and look forward to it becoming law. And we urge all Nevadans to tell their legislators to protect our pollinators.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"box-sizing:border-box;margin:0px 0px 10px;font-family:\" open=\"\" sans\",sans-serif\"=\"\">The bill would help declining insect populations and the crops, rangeland and other plants and wildlife that depend on them. It would also allow Nevada to recover threatened plants and animals with less legislation.<\/p>\n<p style=\"box-sizing:border-box;margin:0px 0px 10px;font-family:\" open=\"\" sans\",sans-serif\"=\"\">Conservation actions by the Nevada Department of Wildlife can effectively recover vulnerable wildlife populations, circumventing the need to list species under the Endangered Species Act. Yet the agency lacks regulatory or management authority over bees, butterflies and other insects.<\/p>\n<p style=\"box-sizing:border-box;margin:0px 0px 10px;font-family:\" open=\"\" sans\",sans-serif\"=\"\"><a name=\"_heading=h.gjdgxs\" id=\"gmail-_heading=h.gjdgxs\" style=\"box-sizing:border-box;background:transparent;color:rgb(0,110,154);text-decoration-line:underline\"><\/a>More than 140 scientists from across Nevada, the United States and the world&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/xerces.org\/sites\/default\/files\/2023-03\/ScientistLOS_NevadaAB221_submitted.pdf\" style=\"box-sizing:border-box;background:transparent;color:rgb(0,110,154)\">have expressed support for Assembly Bill 221<\/a>.

I and many other scientists and conservationists stand ready to help the Nevada Department of Wildlife if this bill passes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"box-sizing:border-box;margin:0px 0px 10px;font-family:\" open=\"\" sans\",sans-serif\"=\"\">Insects like butterflies and bees are at the heart of a healthy environment. They pollinate most flowering plants, including many of the fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds that humans and wildlife depend on. The vast majority of birds, bats and freshwater fish depend on invertebrates as food. Invertebrates clean streams and rivers by filtering water, help clean up plant, animal and human waste, and support food production by controlling pests. One study found that native insects are worth more than $70 billion a year to the United States economy.<\/p>\n<p style=\"box-sizing:border-box;margin:0px 0px 10px;font-family:\" open=\"\" sans\",sans-serif\"=\"\">\u201cThis legislation would help the animals that pollinate our crops, providing one in three bites of food we eat. They\u2019re also food for our birds and fish, clean up waste in our lands and rivers, and help control pests,\u201d said Scott Hoffman Black, executive director of the Xerces Society for Invertebrate Conservation. \u201cIf you like to eat good food and if you like birds in your trees and fish in your streams, then Nevada Assembly Bill 221 is worth supporting.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"box-sizing:border-box;margin:0px 0px 10px;font-family:\" open=\"\" sans\",sans-serif\"=\"\">Many of these animals are in trouble.
