What kind of planet protector are you?
If you are on this website it’s probably because you share our love of the natural world.
We are working to save the bees - from asking Amazon to stop selling bee-killing pesticides to sharing bee-friendly garden tips - and you can help.
Bees play a crucial role in our lives. But as our society uses more pesticides, their populations are plummeting. Fortunately, we know how to help them: protecting already-existing bee habitat, expanding habitat by planting pollinator-friendly plants in our own gardens and on public lands, and ending the worst uses of the pesticides that are killing them. Together, we can save the bees.

Native milkweeds, flowers, shrubs and other plants in pollinator gardens provide essential food, water and shelter for pollinators and other wildlife.
Pollinators like bees, birds and butterflies are crucial members of our ecosystem, but need our help.
