PREFACE

It is with great satisfaction that I write this Preface to the IPNSA Directory. The Invertebrate Pollinator Network of South Asia, a project of the South Asian Invertebrate Specialist Group (SAsISG) IUCN SSC, ICINSA or Invertebrate Conservation and Information Network of South Asia and the Conservation Breeding Specialist Group of South Asia, is, to my mind, one of the most important projects we have taken up at this time. The decline of pollinators is one of the more frightening current issues and problems which are indicative of mankind's proximity to a precipice leading to unimaginable suffering of all living creatures.

The only aspect of this issue more frightening than its inevitable result unless we find solutions or mitigating actions, is the fact that it is so difficult to convey to people who could or should start generating policy and preparing action plans. Of course, even the man on the street should be able to appreciate the fact of no pollinators-no-plants-no-food-no survival !!!! But the penny just doesn't seem to drop! I have talked about this to many people but have yet to generate a single bit of alarm of hysteria to match my own inner fretting.

I am pleased to hear from our IPNSA Chair that much activity will be devoted to the development of educational materials which would, we hope, generate sufficient alarm to create a movement. Such issues are heartbreaking as they are so large... almost any of our efforts seem so small against the backdrop of global warming and human apathy. Networks such as IPNSA, however, with members who will-we hope-might start community groups, clubs, discussions, etc. and spread the word that we must pressure our policy makers and agricultural experts to come up with man-made miracles that will compensate man-made mistakes and restore enough of our natural process so that we may live comfortably on earth for some more decades and centuries, or even millenniums.

I would be derelict in my duty as Preface Author and as a grateful friend and colleague of Paul Pearce Kelly, Curator of the Invertebrate Conservation Centre, Zoological Society of London, who has raised funds for the Invertebrate Network here for so many years. This is not the only reason. Paul is a virtual crusader on the topic of global warming and has taken this hot topic up with even greater zeal in the last year. We will be working with him to find ways to fund and to create innovative, inspiring, instructional and informational items with which to put both the fear of God and the hope of creative action into the public about what is happening to our world of insects and the impact on our personal comfort and survival. Our thanks to Paul and ZSL for assistance with our Invertebrate networks and for their promotion of issues which impact our survival.

I will be working in this network with you and looking forward to our output.

PREAMBLE There are many impending environmental crises that face the human race today. Climate change and global warming are among the best known and have become household terms because their effects are experienced by citizens of all nations, rich or poor, from temperate to tropical regions.

A crisis that is less well known, even though it has enormous consequences for food production and nutritional security of nations, is the decline of domesticated and wild pollinators. This decline is largely due to intensification of agriculture worldwide which has led to destruction of nesting habitats for wild pollinators, poisoning due to extensive pesticide application for larger crop yields, and alteration of cropping patterns and land use practices leading to loss of adult and juvenile food resources for pollinators.

Like global warming, the pesticide crisis has also become a household word, especially when the horrific impacts of endosulfan on farm workers and their children in Kerala were revealed. Earlier, the usage of DDT and its appearance even in breast milk have surely entered national consciousness. The links between pesticides and human health appear to be firmly established in the public mind. Organic food is now very much in the attention of the media and hence of the public. However, the links between pesticides and pollinator health have not been realized.

Furthermore, the impact of land use practices on pollinator biology and reproduction is completely ignored. This is not the public’s fault. Even most biologists do not appreciate this problem, and even those that do, often assume that the crop scientists must be taking care of it.

Most statistics on food production also tell us how many metric tons of “food” are produced, but “food” production in terms of calories alone are meaningless statistics because a nation and a world needs nutritional security in terms of micro- and macro-nutrients and not just caloric security. The backlash against fast-food is a sign of the times. Micro-nutrient diversity, especially in a largely vegetarian population as exists in many parts of Asia, requires crop diversity, not just rice and wheat. Crop diversity is directly linked with pollinator diversity. In recognition of the importance of pollinator services for food and nutritional security, the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) have made the pollinator issue of prime importance. A recent review of the importance of pollinators for world crops (Klein 2007) cited very few studies from Asia. Does this mean that there are no good studies on the impact of pollinators from Asia or does this mean that these studies are buried in reports or other inaccessible places and need to be brought into the public eye? We, in Asia, need to examine the evidence and the ameliorating measures for pollination security as fast as possible. Klein concluded that except for a few crops, published information of crop pollination is scarce.

We, in IPNSA therefore believe that our prime tasks should be the following: 1. To form a network of resource managers, stakeholders, and personnel who can provide

information on pollination and pollinators.2. To collate and analyze published and unpublished information as well as traditional

wisdom/unconventional sources of such information, in order to evaluate the magnitudeand consequences of disruption of pollinator services.

3. To use this analysis of secondary data on pollinators and pollination services and thepollinator network to engage in discourse with policy makers and civil society in order toeffect a positive impact on pollinator conservation.

4. To develop methods and impart training for rapid assessment of pollinators and impactsof their declining status.

5. To create awareness at all levels.- Editors
