[Ladadams at aol.com]

Thanks to the hard word of NAPPC Partners Antoinette Condo, Linda Paterson, 
NAPPC Chairman Mike Ruggiero, NAPPC Steering Committee Member Vernon Thomas 
and others in their recent UN appearance at the Commission on Sustainable 
Development the word pollinators did make it into the final document of 
CSD-17.  http://www.un.org/esa/dsd/resources/res_pdfs/csd-17/Final_text.pdf
View page 10  (a) Enhance agriculture production, productivity and 
sustainability. Para xviii
 
This gives some internationally agreed wording to build on the agriculture 
productivity theme for both managed and wild pollinators.   Congratulations 
and thanks to all who made this happen.
