Pollinators are essential to ecosystems but are increasingly rare

Pollinators are essential to ecosystems but are increasingly rare. Golf courses can provide a suitable environment for their growth without needing extensive new developments. Tifenn Piedron from the Office for Insects and their Environment explains that better management of existing resources can support pollinator populations.

Pollinators, primarily insects, are crucial for plant reproduction as they transfer pollen between flowers while seeking nectar. While honeybees are well-known, France is home to over 20,000 pollinator species, including butterflies, hoverflies, and wild bees. In tropical regions, some birds also assist in pollination.
