Description

Pollinators are essential to ecosystem health and food security, yet native bee populations face increasing threats from habitat loss, climate change, and land-use changes. This report explores how geospatial decision-making tools are being used across Canada, Mexico, and the United States to identify priority areas for native bee inventorying and monitoring. It highlights strategic recommendations to improve tool accessibility, foster collaboration, and guide conservation efforts with science-based data.

Developed through trinational collaboration, this report is a resource for researchers, land managers, policymakers, and conservation practitioners seeking to better understand and protect native bee populations. It offers insights into existing tools, data gaps, and opportunities for innovation—emphasizing the importance of integrating Traditional Ecological Knowledge, community science, and technology to support long-term pollinator conservation across North America.
