As a young citizen deeply involved in environmental activism, I can’t stay silent while wild pollinators like bumblebees, solitary bees, butterflies, and hoverflies are disappearing before our eyes.

These tiny creatures are essential to ecosystems, food production, and biodiversity. Without them, we lose not just nature’s beauty but its function – and our future.

First, we must protect and restore pollinator habitats – plant wildflower meadows, create flowering field margins, and stop mowing every patch of grass like it’s a golf course. We need to give nature some space to breathe.

Second, we must limit the use of harmful pesticides, especially neonicotinoids, which are silent killers of pollinators. Supporting organic and sustainable farming practices is no longer an option – it’s a necessity.

Third, cities have a huge role to play – with insect hotels, community gardens, less concrete, and more biodiversity-friendly public spaces. Education and citizen involvement can truly shift the balance.

And finally – we need political courage to implement real systemic solutions: subsidies for nature-friendly farming, national pollinator monitoring, public campaigns, and long-term strategies.

If we don’t act now, we’ll lose something irreplaceable – not only wild bees, but also the resilience of nature itself.

Let’s act – for nature, for the future, and for ourselves.
