Pollinators, such as bees, birds, bats and insects, play a crucial role in flowering plant reproduction and in the production of most fruits and vegetables. Examples of crops that are pollinated include apples, squash, and almonds. Without the assistance of pollinators, most flowering plants cannot produce fruits and seeds. The fruits and seeds of flowering plants are an important food source for people and wildlife. Some of the seeds that are not eaten will eventually produce new plants, helping to maintain the plant population.

There are lots of things you can do to help wildlife and habitat. You can make a difference, from creating a certified wildlife habitat to finding plants and animals in your neighborhood. Check out some of these ideas and share them with your parents and friends: attract woodpeckers, attract butterflies, make a milk jug bird feeder, attract wildlife to your yard in winter, or learn about trash.

There are so many things you can do! For instance, two friends cleaned up a creek in their neighborhood, a kindergarten class held a bake sale to raise money for the rainforest, an elementary school collected almost 60 POUNDS of trash near their school, and a 4th grade class raised salmon from eggs and released them into a stream.

What would happen if the number of bees, birds, bats and other insects dramatically dropped?
  1. There would be less pollination of fruits and vegetables.
  2. Salmon eggs would not be released into nearby streams.
  3. People would stop eating apples, squash, and almonds.
  4. More money would need to be sent to rainforests.
