Library

Welcome to the library collection from the Center for Pollinator Conservation. The Center for Pollinator Conservation was created within the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to collaborate across federal, state, and Tribal governments, non-governmental organizations, academia, and private industry. The Center’s purpose is to develop and implement solutions to issues threatening pollinators, to invest in adaptive learning and making information accessible, and to inspire conservation through communication in the U.S. and North America. By focusing on its three primary functions, applied science, collaboration, and engagement, the Center will help address these issues by creating a collaborative space across agencies, partnering organizations, and by aligning and mobilizing expertise. Documents within this collection are for everyone interested in conserving pollinators.
