Rotary District 7930 and the Essex National Heritage Area have signed a Pollinator Resolution in joint support of helping to reduce pollinator loss. In addition, the Salem Rotary Club and Marblehead Rotary Club have also co-signed the agreement on behalf of Rotary.
“Pollinator loss is a global environmental issue,” says Alexander Falk, Operation Pollination Ambassador and District Governor 2022-23 for Rotary District 7930. “It’s a global problem, as pollinators have declined by more than 45% worldwide in the past 50 years and are responsible for the reproductive success of more than 85% of the world's plants.”
Rotary District 7930 Governor 2021-22, Terry Rezendes Curran, agrees. "Rotary’s 1.2 million members are all about helping make the world a better place for our children and their children. By engaging Rotary’s Pollinator movement known as Operation Pollination, District 7930 is doing its part to help solve a global environmental crisis. We’re grateful for the critical partnership and cooperation of the Essex National Heritage Area in helping us move this important initiative forward in the Northeastern Massachusetts area, and we are excited that two local Rotary Clubs – Salem and Marblehead – have already signed on.”
