WILD BEES:  CHAMPIONS FOR FOOD SECURITY AND PROTECTING OUR BIODIVERSITY

London, UK (SPX) Sep 07, 2012 - Pollinating insects contribute to agricultural production in 150 (84%) European crops. These crops depend partly or entirely upon insects for their pollination and yield.

One key threat to bees is agrochemicals; "we are now finding strong negative effects of pesticides, not only in honeybees and bumblebees, but also solitary bees-Several European countries have programmes aiming to improve honeybee health, but there is very little support for wild pollinators despite their critical roles in ecosystems. .... http://www.seeddaily.com/reports/Wild_bees_Champions_for_food_security_and_protecting_our_biodiversity_999.html

A Global Urgency: Tackling the illegal trade in wild animals

A Global Urgency: Tackling the illegal trade in wild animals | Biodiversity IS Life -- Conservation,Ecosystems,Wildlife,Rivers,Water,Forests | Scoop.it

March 1, 2013 - The Guardian Environment

The grisly trade in wild animals is underpinned by slaughter, smuggling and money-laundering. It's time to get serious

Elephant poaching in the African continent is now at its highest for 20 years, with an estimated 25,000 elephants killed in 2011.

Illegal trade in wildlife has now reached a scale that poses an immediate risk to wildlife and to people. Over the past five years, we have seen a dramatic spike in the poaching and illegal trade in elephants and rhinos. In 2011 an estimated 25,000 elephants were poached across Africa and in South Africa alone 668 rhinos were lost to poachers in 2012.... http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/blog/2013/mar/01/cites-animals-illegal-trade
