Nigeria Joins Global Coalition to Protect Pollinators
Nigeria became the fourth African country to join the Global Coalition of the Willing on Pollinators on July 25, 2019.
About the Organisation
- The organisation was formed three years ago, to follow up on the findings of IPBES Assessment on Pollinators, Pollination and Food Production, which found that many of the world’s pollinator species are on the decline.
- The initiative to form a coalition was taken by the Netherlands on December 12, 2016 at the Conference of the Parties–Convention of Biological Diversity held in Mexico.
- On an average, pollinator-dependent crops have higher prices than non- pollinator dependent crops.
