IPI aims and updates
The main aims of the Irish Pollinator Initiative are to:
- Collate data on Irish pollinators
- Identify and track those species of pollinator that are most at risk of extinction
- Monitor wild pollinators across the landscape to detect the early warning signs of a threat to Irish pollination service
- Support the agricultural/horticultural industries by identifying pollinator hotspots and areas lacking in pollinators
- Identify which species are most effective in pollinating each of the crops on which the Irish food industry is reliant
- Provide an evidence base to advise and support pollinator conservation initiatives
