Every species tells a story. You can help write the next chapter. The extinction crisis can feel overwhelming, but the solution starts right outside your door. Pollinators—from bees and butterflies to birds and bats—are the heartbeat of our ecosystems. But they are facing threats like habitat degradation and fragmentation that impact their ability to thrive and survive. By supporting these essential creatures, you help build a healthy food chain and a thriving planet for animals and humans.

When you sign our Pollinator Pledge today, we’ll mail you a packet of free native pollinator seeds to help you turn your outdoor space into wildlife habitat.

Join a global community of National Geographic Society supporters committed to safeguarding one of our planet’s most crucial ecosystems and celebrate 20 years of the National Geographic Photo Ark by taking action today.

Only U.S. mailing addresses are eligible. Depending on the native plants to your region, seeds will be either Black-Eyed Susan or Rocky Mountain Beeplant. Seed packets are subject to availability and provided on a first-come, first-served basis to individuals who complete the Pollinator Pledge. Offer valid while supplies last.
