spring into action! Invest in the future! We are the first generation to understand the enormity of the decline in Ireland’s Biodiversity, and the last generation in a position to make a real difference!!
Bees are critically endangered. They are a key contributor to the pollination of our crops, but sadly, 33% of Irish bees are facing extinction. They are an indicator for biodiversity in general and once a species is extinct this cannot be reversed and the balance of nature is affected forever. DCs For Bees is an industry initiative led by Host in Ireland to help save Ireland’s declining bee population.
Action is urgently needed!
Bee pollination contributes to 70% of the world’s crops. The success of our species is dependent on theirs. There are 100 species of bee in Ireland; nearly one third of Ireland’s wild bees are threatened with extinction and common bumblebees continue to show annual declines in abundance. With Ireland’s wild bees continuing to decline at an alarming rate, the time to act is now. The DCs for Bees Pollinator Plan is a shared plan of action by Host In Ireland, its 40 partners from the data centre industry and the wider industry, who have pledged to deliver on pollinator friendly actions to make Ireland more pollinator friendly and ensure the survival of our pollinators for future generations. The plan is the first of its kind for the global data centre industry and highlights ways for individuals and businesses to take action in addressing Ireland’s biodiversity plight. Backed by the All-Ireland Pollinator Plan, it includes a toolkit of 42 pollinator-friendly actions to ensure the survival of our pollinators for future generations.
