Advances in Ecological Economy

Insect pollination is of great importance to biodiversity and ecosystem stability in the earths ecosystems, and about 80% of flowering plants depend on it for pollination. At present, Chinas pollinators are facing multiple ecological risks, such as habitat loss due to urbanization expansion and agricultural intensification, extreme climate disruption of insect and plant phenology, chemical pesticides harm the health of pollinators, and biological invasion disrupts the ecological balance. To this end, systematic conservation strategies are needed, such as improving laws and regulations to protect habitats, adopting sustainable agricultural practices to reduce pesticide use, cooperating with meteorological authorities to warn of extreme weather, strengthening monitoring and research and establishing data-sharing platforms, and enhancing science and technology scenarios to increase public participation. In the future, with the development of science and technology, Chinas insect pollination is expected to make progress in the promotion of risk prevention and control and protection strategies, which will help biodiversity protection and ecosystem prosperity, and achieve harmonious coexistence between man and nature.
