"Summer is here, and some public outdoor spaces in the Dutch city of Utrecht
are a riot of colors: wildflowers in myriad hues of orange, red, yellow and
purple pop in the sun. More than mere beautification projects, these wildflower
patches are among an array of Dutch initiatives to help insect pollinators —
part of an ambitious national strategy to support honey bees, wild bees,
hoverflies, beetles, butterflies and other species.
The Netherlands is one of only a handful of countries that has a comprehensive
strategy aimed directly at stemming the decline in pollinators. Launched in
2018, the National Pollinator Strategy encompasses a range of ongoing efforts
and carries clear and measurable benchmarks for success. Already, it is
providing a roadmap for other countries looking to conserve their pollinators."
