Every day people are connected to nature by those activities of pollinators that contribute to producing food. The goal of this book, Our Friends the Pollinators, is to inspire excitement about pollinators and make the link with food, and people’s livelihoods. This book also aims to create awareness, provide practical information on the diversity of pollinators in East Africa (Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Ethiopia, Rwanda, Burundi), and introduce you to a few of them.
