Workshop “Spipoll: become a “pollinating insect paparazzi”!”

Become a "pollinating insect paparazzi"!

Do you love insects and care about biodiversity? On your marks, get set, photograph!
Bees, bumblebees, ants, butterflies and even flies play an essential role in pollination. These pollinating insects transport the pollen of 80% of flowering plants, providing food for many animals and humans.
But for several years now, this pollination function has been threatened by the sharp decline in insect populations. Pesticides, soil artificialisation and climate change are all having an impact on biodiversity in towns and the countryside.

To discover the role of insects and learn how to identify them, come and take part in the Spipoll participative science protocol. By photographing and referencing them, you will be contributing to scientific research and generating knowledge about the biodiversity of our towns and cities.

Created in partnership between the Office Pour les Insectes et leur Environnement (OPIE) and the Muséum national d'Histoire naturelle, the Photographic Monitoring of Pollinating Insects (SPIPOLL) aims to obtain data on pollinating and/or flowering insects. The data collected is used to measure variations in insect diversity throughout mainland France.
