Abstract Pollinator conservation is a major focus of current conservation attention and public policy. However, an understanding of the social dimensions of pollinator conservation is urgently needed for effective action. In 2014, Ontario became the first jurisdiction in North America to propose to regulate neonicotinoid pesticides, and the proposal included a draft Pollinator Health Action Plan with additional measures to protect pollinator species. We analyzed the 972 comments submitted on the proposal by individual citizens, determining each commenter’s stance, source of information (if applicable), and main concerns. We found very strong support for neonicotinoid regulation, with less than 5% opposed. We also found that the greatest concerns were for bees and pollination services, but that the diversity of pollinating species and the relative contributions of various taxa to pollination was not well understood. Government regulation of neonicotinoid pesticides and other actions to protect pollinator health clearly have the broad support and great interest of the general public, which creates a rare opportunity for conservation policy and action. We conclude that, in order to be effective, broad support will need to be translated into nuanced, evidence-based policy that is focussed on native species and addresses the many threats at-risk pollinators face.

了解公众和利益相关者对传粉媒介保护政策制定的态度

摘要 传粉媒介保护是当前保护关注和公共政策的主要焦点。然而,为了采取有效的行动,迫切需要了解传粉媒介保护的社会层面。2014 年,安大略成为北美第一个提议监管新烟碱类杀虫剂的司法管辖区,该提议包括一项传粉媒介健康行动计划草案,以及保护传粉媒介物种的额外措施。我们分析了公民个人就提案提交的 972 条评论,确定了每个评论者的立场、信息来源(如果适用)和主要关注点。我们发现对新烟碱类监管的强烈支持,只有不到 5% 的人反对。我们还发现,最令人担忧的是蜜蜂和授粉服务,但是,授粉物种的多样性以及各种分类群对授粉的相对贡献尚不清楚。政府对新烟碱类农药的监管和其他保护传粉媒介健康的行动显然得到了广大公众的广泛支持和极大兴趣,这为保护政策和行动创造了难得的机会。我们得出的结论是,为了有效,广泛的支持需要转化为细致入微的、以证据为基础的政策,该政策侧重于本地物种并解决传粉媒介面临的许多面临风险的威胁。这为保护政策和行动创造了难得的机会。我们得出的结论是,为了有效,广泛的支持需要转化为细致入微的、以证据为基础的政策,该政策侧重于本地物种并解决传粉媒介面临的许多面临风险的威胁。这为保护政策和行动创造了难得的机会。我们得出的结论是,为了有效,广泛的支持需要转化为细致入微的、以证据为基础的政策,该政策侧重于本地物种并解决传粉媒介面临的许多面临风险的威胁。
