Pollinator pollinator community collapsed. Pollinator A pollinator is an animal that moves pollen from the male anther of a flower to the female stigma of a flower. This helps to bring about fertilization of the ovules in the flower by the male gametes from the pollen grains.

Vertebrates, mainly bats and birds, but also some non-bat mammals (monkeys, lemurs, possums, rodents) and some lizards pollinate certain plants. Among the pollinating birds are hummingbirds,
North American Pollinator Protection Campaign North American Pollinator Protection Campaign The North American Pollinator Protection Campaign (NAPPC) is an organization of academics, government officials, policy makers, and industry stakeholders working towards pollinator conservation in North America. NAPPC works in coordination with local, national, and international pollinator protection plans that focus on species, genera, families, or classes of animals. The campaign coordinates with existing projects that address pollinator habitats or migratory corridors. Such plans include Bat Conservation International’s Management Plan, the Plant Conservation Alliance’s Plan, and the São Paulo Declaration on Pollinators . NAPPC complements these and other pollinator conservation efforts in that it focuses on
