Bees and other pollinators, such as butterflies, bats and hummingbirds, are increasingly under
threat from human activities. Pollination is, however, a fundamental process for the survival of our
ecosystems. Nearly 90% of the world’s wild flowering plant species depend, entirely, or at least in
part, on animal pollination, along with more than 75% of the world’s food crops and 35% of global
agricultural land. Not only do pollinators contribute directly to food security, but they are key to
conserving biodiversity.
To raise awareness of the importance of pollinators, the threats they face and their contribution to sustainable development, the Nature club, KARE celebrated the World Honey Bee day as Beatrix
2023 on 16 th September 2023.
The goal is to strengthen measures aimed at protecting bees and other pollinators, which
would significantly contribute to solving problems related to the global food supply and eliminate
hunger in developing countries.

World Soil Day is held annually on 5 December as a means to focus attention on the importance of healthy soil and to advocate for the sustainable management of soil resources. Our Nature Club took a moment to celebrate the same on 16th December 2023. Caring soil is extremely important for sustaining healthy life on earth. The human/animal health actually lies on good health of soil as it supports healthy plant growth to provide nutritious produce to keep us healthy. A healthy soil would ensure proper retention and release of water and nutrients, promote and sustain root growth, maintain soil biotic habitat, respond to management, resist degradation and act as a buffer for environmental pollution.
