Bats, birds, butterflies, and bees. What do these animals have in common? Some species of each are pollinators! In honor of Endangered Species Day, 2022, we?re revealing beautiful illustrations of all four of these animal pollinators, and the plants they pollinate, on our new Endangered Species Coalition Pollinator Protectors shirt by Bonfire. For two weeks, from May 26th - June 9th we are running a special fundraiser to support these vital species. Please visit our campaign to see all of the styles and colors available. By purchasing a shirt, your support of native pollinators and plants is visible and contributes funding to Endangered Species Coalition?s Pollinator Protectors campaign for native plant and pollinator habitat creation and restoration projects. 

Pollinating animals and plants form specialized relationships, adapting to one another and changing over time. Sometimes these connections are so biologically and ecologically significant, that the plant and animals depend entirely on one another for survival. The design of this shirt features unique plant-pollinator relationships: Monarch butterflies with milkweed, rusty patched bumblebee pollinating native roses, i?iwi and??hi?a flower, and the Mexican long-tongued bat with agave blossoms.

Your Pollinator Protector shirt purchase will directly support habitat restoration at planting sites for these and other species, providing funding to purchase native plants, supplies, and materials to ensure plantings are a success. We will enlist new supporters and raise awareness of the need for pollinator habitat by increasing outreach and education about native pollinators and plants.

Thank you so much for your support of native plants and pollinators!
