Pollinis

Pollinis is an international nonprofit organization dedicated to the study, conservation, and enhancement of pollination services for ecosystems and agriculture. The organization coordinates research, supports habitat restoration projects, and advocates for policies that protect pollinators such as bees, butterflies, and other insects.

Pollinis was established in 2010 by a coalition of ecologists, agronomists, and conservationists who sought to address rising pollinator declines. It operates through regional offices in Europe, North America, and Asia and partners with universities, government agencies, and NGOs.

Its programs include field research on pollinator communities and pollination networks, restoration of pollinator habitats in agricultural lands and urban areas, development of best-practice guidelines for farmers, and education campaigns aimed at the public. The organization also maintains a data platform that tracks pollinator health indicators, crop yields, and habitat quality to inform policy and on-the-ground actions.

Pollinis publishes peer-reviewed studies, contributes to policy consultations, and supports certification schemes for pollinator-friendly farming. Critics have called for greater transparency in funding and for broader engagement with smallholder farmers.
