<p>The National Pollinator Strategy is a 10 year plan which sets out a framework for
collective action to protect pollinators on farmland, towns, cities and the countryside,
and to enhance the response to pests and disease risk. The Strategy also seeks to
raise awareness of what pollinators need to thrive through a call to action message
which sets out five simple actions that everyone can take to support pollinators (<a
href="http://www.wildlifetrusts.org/Bees-needs" target="_blank">www.wildlifetrusts.org/Bees-needs</a>).</p><p>The
Strategy is an important starting point and must be flexible, adapting to new data
and understanding as this emerges. We will keep the Strategy under review, refreshing
the aims by 2019 and identifying any necessary targets and additional policies to
strengthen our response based on an improved understanding of the baselines, the impact
of pressures and the role of pollinators. The review will also consider lessons learned
from the initial policy actions and partnership working. We will coordinate the production
of a one year progress report with key partners on implementation of the Strategy
later this year.</p><p> </p><p> </p>
