Wild pollinators are the unsung heroes of our ecosystems. From solitary bees and moths, to butterflies and bumblebees, they all play a vital role in the reproduction of many plants and contribute to the overall health of our environment.

Today, on World Migratory Bird Day, we celebrate the essential role insects play in fuelling the journeys of migratory birds across vast distances. These tiny creatures are vital for replenishing the energy reserves of traveling birds of all sizes, influencing the timing, duration, and overall success of their migrations. This is particularly evident at crucial stopover points, where peak insect abundance coincides with the arrival of traveling birds.

Moments ago, Members of the European Parliament voted to strip away the already weak environmental measures from the EU’s Common Agriculture Policy (CAP). With a shocking 425 votes in favour and 130 votes against, the Parliament has agreed to weaken the Good Agricultural and Environmental Conditions (GAECs). The GAECs are meant to safeguard biodiversity and soil health – both crucial for food production and the livelihoods of farmers.
