Safeguarding Europe’s pollinators: Insights from three policy briefs    - IEEP AISBL

Pollinators like bees, butterflies, moths and other insects rely on healthy, diverse environments to survive. Protected areas, green spaces in cities, and our countryside play a key role by offering s...

A new #primer pair called #BeePrime, tackles a key gap in #pollinator #monitoring by reliably detecting #bee #DNA from flower samples. Tested in Austrian flower strips, it found 4x more bee species than standard primers, boosting both accuracy and efficiency. Read more⤵️ doi.org/10.3897/mbmg...

PollinERA has been on the move 🐝✈️ Over the past two months, PollinERA materials were displayed at several pollinator-related meetings across Europe. 👉Read the overview of this journey: pollinera-horizon.eu/news/polline... 👥 @wildposh.eu @safeguard-pollinators.eu @agri4pol.eu @valor-project.eu

🐝 Safeguard might have come to an end, but Safe-Hub is in good hands! Following the close of Safeguard, the @valor-project.eu will be taking over Safe-Hub and hosting outputs in a dedicated section. 👀 👉Check out Safe-hub: safeguard-pollinators.eu

‼️Safeguard's final newsletter is now out! You can check out some final project updates, new publications, policy news, and events in your inbox. A heartfelt thank you to all the people who made Safeguard possible. 👉 Check it out: www.safeguard.biozentrum.uni-wuerzburg.de/Project/Publ...

A farewell to the @safeguard-pollinators.eu 🐝 During its final meeting, promotional materials for PollinERA were displayed. Including our latest policy brief, presenting it to the wide community of researchers, experts and policymakers. 👉 Discover more: buff.ly/i4CBz29

As the @safeguard-pollinators.eu concludes its journey, its final meetings marked an important milestone for pollinator research in Europe. 🐝 At the event, AGRI4POL promotional materials were displayed, highlighting a commitment to a pollinator-friendly future. 👉🏼 www.eurekalert.org/news-release...

This week, the Safeguard project consortium came together for the #SafeguardFinale, marking the conclusion of 4,5 years of impactful work dedicated to European #WildPollinators 🐝🌼 📄 Read our final press release here: 👉 lnkd.in/dg7QpdSD

A new map of National Red Lists for pollinators is now available on Safe-Hub! 🗺️ It depicts the level of threat facing different #pollinator species across European countries & offers a clear picture of where interventions are most urgent 🐝 Explore here: 👉 safeguard-pollinators.eu/national-red...

Following almost half a decade of dedicated #pollinator research across Europe, the Safeguard project has officially ended! 🐝 🦋 The project tackled one of the most urgent biodiversity challenges of our time: understanding and reversing #WildPollinatorDecline 🌍 👉 www.eurekalert.org/news-release...

📢 Safeguard releases three new policy briefs! Each of the new briefs translated the project's research into guidance for decision-makers across different policy areas. 👉 Available on the Safeguard project website and in the Safe-hub policy corner: safeguard-pollinators.eu/policy-corner

The @safeguard-pollinators.eu wraps up in Brussels this week, but the work to reverse pollinator loss is far from over. 🐝 Explore the Safeguard Knowledge Exchange Hub (Safe-Hub), developed under the project and set for further growth under @valor-project.eu 👇 #SafeguardFinale #PollinatorResearch

Katarzyna Biala (@eea.europa.eu) closed by presenting the EEA's role in bridging science & policy - including mapping key pollinator areas under the New Deal for Pollinators and the upcoming State of Nature report. Future priority: moving beyond economic valuation. 🐝 #SafeguardFinale

In the final session of today's meeting, Adam Vanbergen presented the Safeguard Integrated Assessment Framework , using European expert elicitation to assess pollinator pressures to 2024 & project to 2035. #SafeguardFinale

Delphine Dupeux from @eurolandorg.bsky.social closed the session with the landowner perspective: market instability & regulatory complexity are key barriers. Pollinator recovery needs cooperative monitoring frameworks that involve land managers. 🐝 #SafeguardFinale

Zafarani Uwingabire (@inrae-france.bsky.social) presented research linking stakeholder worldviews to management preferences. Four profiles were identified - from ethics-driven to human-centered approaches. Governance preferences align with these worldviews, not policy logic. 🐝 #SafeguardFinale

The session continued with René van der Wal from SLU presenting a new handbook for valuing pollination across ecological, economic & sociocultural dimensions. Pollinator interventions yield co-benefits spanning pest control, climate regulation & soil health. 🐝 #SafeguardFinale

András Báldi from the HUN-REN Centre for Ecological Research gave an overview of urban pollinator-promoting interventions. ‼️Interventions like flower sowing, extensive mowing, and species diversification significantly increase pollinator abundance and species richness. #SafeguardFinale

Our third session focused on integrated approaches to pollinator protection. Lorenzo Marini (University of Padova) discussed effective responses to counteract pollinator decline in managed landscapes. 🌱 #SafeguardFinale
