Such an assessment is needed to provide a comprehensive analysis of the status and trends of pollinator diversity and distribution and to provide information useful for enhancing pollinator conservation and sustainable use. Assessing pollinator status and trends is complicated. Scientific data on the status of pollinators and the state of pollination services are inadequate. Observations suggest that a decline in pollinator abundance is occurring, but often these observations are considered anecdotal. Documenting a decline reliably can help identify specific areas of concern. Measurement and assessment of pollination services therefore need to be properly planned and designed to produce verifiable results. | Publication Type: | Book Chapter | Source of Publication: | Pollinatiors and Pollination: A Resource Book for Policy and Practice, p. 1-18 | Publisher: | African Pollinator Initiative (API) | Place of Publication: | Queenswood, South Africa | ISBN: | 1868493105 | Fields of Research (FoR) 2008: | 140214 Public Economics- Publically Provided Goods | Socio-Economic Objective (SEO) 2008: | 910299 Microeconomics not elsewhere classified | HERDC Category Description: | B1 Chapter in a Scholarly Book | Publisher/associated links: | http://www.pollinator.org/Resources/Pollination%20Handbook.pdf http://nla.gov.au/anbd.bib-an40475189 |
