How Funding Will Help
Western bumblebee adoptions will support the work of Peter Soroye, Key Biodiversity Areas Assessment and Outreach Coordinator at Wildlife Conservation Society Canada, in Saskatchewan. Key Biodiversity Areas (or KBAs) are a globally-recognized designation for the most critical sites for nature on our planet – areas that have global value for conservation due to their outstanding ecological integrity, globally important ecosystems, or significant populations of animals, fungi and plants. It is essential to identify, map, monitor and conserve KBAs in order to safeguard these sites; and this is exactly what Peter and his team are doing in Saskatchewan.

More About the Project

Saskatchewan is currently home to eight KBAs, but there are dozens of additional candidate sites across the province. Many of these are grasslands; one of the most endangered ecosystems on Earth, and crucial habitat for monarch butterflies. Canada’s grasslands continue to disappear due to human development and climate change, and Peter aims to help conserve them by ensuring that the most important sites are designated as KBAs.

About Western bumblebee

Did you know that 1 out of every 3 or 4 bites of food you eat was grown with the help of a bee? They pollinate flowers, fruits, and vegetables, and these helpful insects are anything but pests! There are over 40 recorded species of bumblebees in Canada, and the Western bumblebee was once considered one of the most common. But sadly, the species has experienced a big population decline, and are losing their habitats to development and agriculture.
