To exchange knowledge between researchers working on pollinating insects across the NERC remit, and stakeholders interested in conserving pollinators

英国农作物昆虫授粉的价值估计为4.4亿英镑，超过一半的授粉服务被认为来自野生传粉者，而不是管理的蜜蜂。为了应对传粉者在欧洲减少的证据，已经在私人、公共和第三部门制定了传粉者保护战略。我们已经确定了50多种不同的干预措施，可以帮助保护传粉者，从限制某些杀虫剂到保护草原。决定哪些是最有益的或最具成本效益的科学正在迅速发展，特别是在通过昆虫传粉者倡议(IPI)资助的项目中。投资于传粉者保护的团体，包括一些知名的食品零售商，非常热衷于将他们的努力建立在可获得的最佳证据的基础上。这位KE研究员将在新知识不断涌现、快速行动至关重要的时候，在研究人员和最终用户之间建立牢固的长期联系。

The value of insect pollination of agricultural crops in the UK is estimated at £440 million, with over half of the pollination service thought to come from wild pollinators rather than managed honey bees . In response to evidence of pollinator declines in Europe , pollinator conservation strategies have been developed in the private, public and third sectors. We have identified over 50 different interventions that could help conserve pollinators, from restricting certain pesticides to protecting grassland. The science needed to decide which are the most beneficial, or cost-effective, is rapidly developing, particularly within projects funded through the Insect Pollinators Initiative (IPI). Groups investing in pollinator conservation, including some high profile food retailers, are very keen to base their efforts on the best available evidence. This KE Fellow will develop strong long-term links between researchers and end-users, at a time when new knowledge is emerging and rapid action is critical.
