Public Agencies

Federal Pollinator Health Task Force. Founded by the Obama Administration in 2015, co-chaired by the USDA and the EPA. Worked closely with NAPPC and PP; in 2016 issued the Pollinator Partnership Action Plan. In 2017, the federal administration disbanded the Task Force. Since then, as far as we can tell, pollinator research protection is being left largely to the states.
