<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;"><span> </span></p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; text-align: left;" align="left"><span>Edmonton, Alberta - June 06, 2014. The Canadian Forage and Grassland Association (CFGA) is pleased to announce cooperation with Pollinator Partners Canada to achieve mutual goals in pollinator conservation on the Canadian agricultural landscape.</span></p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; text-align: left;" align="left"><span> </span></p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; text-align: left;" align="left"><span>"Promoting biodiversity conservation and collaborative stewardship practices is good for pollinators and recognizes the value agriculture producers make to providing healthy landscapes," said Chad Anderson, CFGA Environment Committee Co-chair. "</span><span>It fits well with the CFGA's role in advocating for sustainable management practices and promotes awareness of the </span><span>significant role grasslands and forages play in shaping a diverse and sustainable landscape."</span></p>

<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; text-align: left;" align="left"><span>"We are at risk of losing the species that bring us one of every three bites of food we eat and that pollinate over 70% of the plants in our landscapes," notes Vicki Wojcik, Research Director at Pollinator Partnership Canada. "The agricultural community is our strongest partner in helping to maintain pollinator populations where we need them most." </span></p>

<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; text-align: left;" align="left"><span>"About 70 million acres of Canada's agricultural land is grassland used for livestock grazing and forage production. These acres including natural grassland, support biodiversity and provide pollinator-beneficial habitat," said Peg Strankman, CFGA Environment Committee.</span></p>

<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; text-align: left;" align="left"><span>The Pollinator Partnership Canada (P2C) is a not-for-profit organization whose mission is to protect and restore populations of pollinator species. As world's largest organization devoted exclusively to the preservation of the birds, bees, butterflies, beetles, and bats, P2C plays a key role in preserving terrestrial ecosystems, promoting agricultural productivity, and enhancing local communities through pollinator-centered work.</span></p>
