Each year, the North American Pollinator Protection Campaign (NAPPC), in conjunction with several partners, solicits nominations for eight prestigious awards across the U.S., Canada, and Mexico: the <strong>Pollinator Advocate Award</strong> (3 countries), the <strong>Farmer-Rancher Pollinator Conservation Award </strong>(3 countries), the <strong>Pollinator Roadside Management Award</strong>, and the <strong>Pollinator Electric Power Award</strong>. Nominees demonstrate a profound understanding of the crucial role pollinators play in sustaining food, culture, and ecosystems, going the extra mile to support birds, bees, butterflies, moths, and bats.<br>
<br>
NAPPC's acknowledgment of awardees aims to inspire and amplify efforts in safeguarding North American pollinator populations. The winners are honored at the annual North American Pollinator Protection Campaign Conference held every October. <strong>Nominations for the 2024-25 Award Year are currently open and can be submitted through their respective online forms by Friday, July 19th, 2024.</strong>
