Caring for Pollinators - Bundesamt für Naturschutz

Hamm & Ssymank Impressions of the side-event
To demonstrate practically the benefits of the “work” done by the pollinators for humans
worldwide, the “Pollinators Buffet” opened during the poster session. The idea of the
“Pollinator Buffet” was to present fruits from many countries of origin and regions of all
continents and to offer them to consumption. Each fruit was labelled with its name, its
pollinators and its origin. We selected fruits consumed either directly or maybe as juices
worldwide every day. Therefore a lot of different fruit juices were also offered at a “Juicebar”
next to the buffet. In that way and in addition to the presentations and the posters we wanted
to make obvious the significance of animal pollination. Overall more then 55 different fruits
and juices were presented. The “Pollinator Buffet”, organised together with an event agency
(CMP-EVENT GmbH, Troisdorf/Germany), was a great success. The fruits were provided
from a local fruiterer (Abels Früchte Welt GmbH, Bonn/Germany).
