The RES Pledge
FeatureAre you a BEEliever?
MPs gathered in Westminster this Insect Week to pledge their support for insect life at the launch of a new All Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) that will champion bees, pollinators and invertebrates. The group will focus on new research both in the academic and applied sectors and how this can be used to independently inform parliamentarians when focusing on various areas of policy.
The launch of the APPG reflects growing recognition that insect protection is not only a conservation issue, but also a matter of long-term environmental and economic sustainability. By supporting collaboration between scientists, policymakers and the public, the group aims to help shape an informed and balanced approach to environmental stewardship.
