PHIRA Science

PHIRA-Science is the Pollinator Health International Research Association, and was set up in 2023 as a non-profit organisation dedicated to improving the health of pollinators globally through robust scientific research.

Pollinators across the globe are in decline and face an increasing number of threats from factors such as climate change, agricultural intensification and the increase in global trade spreading pests and diseases to new areas. Pollinators are vital to our food security, biodiversity and habitat preservation. Many people from around the world, often from poorer regions, rely on pollinators for food production and economic sustainability. Now, more than ever, it is vitally important to protect our pollinators and find novel ways to tackle these issues.

A key goal of PHIRA-Science is to raise awareness of these issues through robust research and public engagement.
