Bees seem hard-working and friendly. But wasps get a bad press, a cold shoulder, or worse. Here are 5 reasons we should appreciate what they do, and protect them, like bees.
Our bees are dying out fast and a huge reason for this is the loss of their natural habitat. They've lost 97% of their grassland habitats in the past 60 years. But disaster can be averted.
Friends of the Earth is an international community dedicated to protecting the natural world and the wellbeing of everyone in it. We lead campaigns, provide resources and information, and drive real solutions to the environmental problems facing us all.
