It depends a bit on what they're growing. From what I understand in California people who own almond groves want bees because they improve yield and quality of the crop. However, right next door some orange farmers prefer not to have bees because they turn seedless fruit into fruit with pips.

Neither of these groups could be described as 'small' - just wanted to point out that it's probably context specific.

I think that fixing the biodiversity crisis is also fundamentally more difficult than climate change. The biggest cause of biodiversity loss is land use change associated with agriculture. The world's population is increasing and becoming more affluent and so need/want more food meaning more loss of natural ecosystems and more species going extinct. This means that biodiversity conservation can be a bit pessimistic and this doesn't always make for a good story.

Thanks for the tip, much appreciated!

Hi, first of all thanks for doing this.

So me and my girlfriend are planning later this year to travel from Europe to Central America/Caribbean and then down to Argentina taking things in on the way. Only thing is we plan to do all this without flying. Any tips?
