Koks buvo iššūkis / problema?

The Great Yellow Bumblebee EIP was a pilot agri-environmental project, which ran for one year. The EIP sought to improve the abundance of native flowers on Irish farmlands to benefit the endangered Great Yellow Bumblebee and other pollinators.

Farmers adopted various actions (such as delayed grazing and mowing, creation of linear features) to support pollinators on species rich and machair grasslands. This partnership with farmers was vital to success of project.
