618 | Wed, 20/12/2023 | ana.costiniu | Green grass “conveyors” in Kazakhstan keep soil and bee conservation moving ahead | English (396) | Kazakhstan is receiving the BES Solution Fund to bring together science, policy and practice communities into awareness-raising and training, particularly on issues related to pollinator conservation and land restoration. The fund is provided through UNDP’s Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services Network (BES-Net), a joint initiative with UNEP-WCMC and UNESCO, funded by the German Government and SwedBio, which aims to translate lessons learned from IPBES’ global, regional and thematic assessments into tangible solutions on the ground. The project has developed an approach called the "green grass/honeycomb conveyor" that serves three main functions: conserving land resources, providing sustainable forage for livestock and bees, and sustaining pollinators. Simply put, a green grass/honey conveyor provides a continuous supply of pollen and efficiently keeps bees in the field. | New/changed action/initiative | Website | Green grass “conveyors” in Kazakhstan keep soil and bee conservation moving ahead | Green grass “conveyors” in Kazakhstan keep soil and bee conservation moving ahead | https://www.undp.org/kazakhstan/stories/green-grass-conveyors-kazakhstan-keep-soil-and-bee-conservation-moving-ahead | National | Kazakhstan | public | Ms. | Ana | Costiniu | UNDP BES-Net | Communications Analyst | Other | [email protected] | |||||||||||||
