The National Pollinator Strategy is a ten-year UK government plan, launched in 2014 by the then Secretary of State for the Environment, Liz Truss. It sets out actions and priorities to ensure that issues that have led to MAJOR (REF) national pollinator declines are identified and addressed. (CHECK THIS IS A FAIR COMMENT)
The government's National Pollinator Strategy aims to determine ways of improving pollinator populations and to establish why those populations have been in serious decline. It identifies five priority areas: [1]
- Supporting pollinators on farmland/agricultural land.
- SUpporting pollinators in urban areas, cities and rural areas;
- Improving responses to pests and diseases;
- Increasing the awareness of what pollinators need in order to survive and thrive
- Enhancing the evidence-base on the status of pollinators and the services they provide us with.
- State of Nature report
- 97% loss of wild flower-rich meadows
- Rising concern/research linking pesticide use/agricultural intensification to polllinator declines
- Ecomomic importance of pollinated crops to U.K. economy
- Ecosystem services from pollinators, worth xxxx to economy.
- Extinction of species in U.K.
Because of their importance in pollinating high-yield crops, natural pollination is valued to benefit the UK economu by £430m to £510m.

In 2013, mounting pressure from scientists, MPs, businesses, environmental campaign groups and the public (all of whom were concerned at the increasing evidence of (SIGNIFICANT?) insect declines), triggered the UK government into launching an urgent review of the crisis that pollinators were facing. It also elicited a promise by the government to introduce a national pollinator strategy. A group of independent experts were then brought together by Professor Ian Boyd (Defra's chief scientific adviser) to start to identify knowledge gaps about the UK's pollinator populations.Cite error: A <ref> tag is missing the closing </ref> (see the
