Deforestation, soil desertification, and the excessive use of agrochemicals are some of the main negative impacts on pollinators, affecting their decline and mortality of these species that contribute to the natural cycle of pollination.The pollinator garden at Miguel Aleman Restoration Site, will provide a balanced habitat, and resources for pollinators. This will also significantly benefit food production in the Mexicali Valley.
Flora, fauna, and ecosystems depend on pollinators. The 420 acres of Miguel Aleman Restoration Site have been transformed from arid lands to groves of native species. So, taking care of pollinators in the area expands the impact of the restoration initiative and helps to recover the ecosystem, strengthening the natural cycles since these are spaces that provide food, shelter, water, and a habitat for pollinators, which plays a very important role in plant reproduction.
The pollinator garden contributes to the rescue of wildlife because they maintain an ecological balance. The balance of natural cycles will strengthen the conservation efforts at Miguel Aleman Restoration Site which provides refuge for migratory and resident birds that depend on the site to survive their long trips. Will also provide balance to social life offering a site for the community through gardening or walking in the forest activities that impact in a positive way on mental health.
The Pollinator Garden will offer refuge and food for pollinators that depend on flower nectar and pollen. These will benefit the propagation of native flora, helping to strengthen their cycles and protecting their ecological function. In addition, the project will attract at least 1,500 people a year to visit and participate in field practices and environmental education workshops; volunteers and visitors will recognize ecosystem services and will protect nature by reconnecting with it.
