that pollinate plants are responsible for bringing us one out of every three
bites of food. Pollinators also sustain our ecosystems and contribute to
natural resources by helping plants reproduce. Unfortunately, many pollinating
species are in decline. Without the actions of pollinators, agricultural
economies, our food supply, and surrounding landscapes would suffer.<b></b></font></span></p>

Pollinator Protection Campaign (NAPPC)<b> </b>address
issues of pollinator health and decline using many resources and projects. Sustainable
pollination and declines in pollinator health are complex issues that do not
have simple solutions, but by addressing each area where pollinators interface
with people we can make a significant impact in pollinator, ecosystem, and
human health. One way we address this
issue is through outreach, education, and action.<b></b></font></span></p>

year’s poster will focus on climate change and pollinators, and how there are
little things that we can do as individuals to help fight climate change while
supporting pollinators – the “little things” or animals that help keep our
planet healthy.</font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:12pt 0cm;line-height:115%"><span lang="EN" style=""><font face="arial, sans-serif">The rhythms of life shaped by millions of
years of evolution are being challenged and altered by our rapidly changing
climate. The connections long established between plants and their pollinators
are of particular concern since these interdependencies shape and sustain
nearly all terrestrial ecosystems. Our future will be defined by how well we
understand and maintain these connections.</font></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:12pt 0cm;line-height:115%"><span lang="EN" style=""><font face="arial, sans-serif">Pollinators are dying because their food and
homes are disappearing, diseases have increased, and rising temperatures and
natural disasters are affecting their ability to survive - all of which are
related to climate change. At the same time, the conservation of pollinators
and their habitats can help combat climate change by supporting healthy
ecosystems, air, soil, water, and plants. Combined, these results make planet
earth a safer place for us to live. </font></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:12pt 0cm;line-height:115%"><font face="arial, sans-serif"><span lang="EN" style="">We envision the poster to be a graphical
depiction of the “little things</span><span lang="EN" style=""> </span><span lang="EN" style="">that
run the world” – namely, pollinators, followed by a list of the “little things”
that people can do to help mitigate the negative impacts of climate change. A
beautiful representation of pollinators and their habitats as a central image
will help connect these small and achievable actions to fight climate change
with pollinators. We want the suggested actions to be spark ideas,
conversation, and actions but not to overwhelm individuals with too many things
to do. We want to highlight the message that people can try even just one of
these things and enrich their life with the “little things”. Overall, we’d like
the poster to be uplifting and motivating, instead of a depressing and alarming
story about climate change.</span></font></p>
