Challenges to creating access to pollinators data are many and include inadequate expertise, insufficient data on pollinator status and on pollinator-plant interactions, few options to mitigate risks to pollinators, lack of standard field methods and data standards, and lack of economic evaluations of pollinator services.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Meeting Demand for Knowledge:<\/strong>&nbsp;JRS seeks projects that increase the access to and use of biodiversity information relating to pollinator biodiversity assessment and the conservation of pollinator services in sub-Saharan Africa. We are seeking projects related to these four areas of conservation and development policy and practice for which pollinator information may be highly relevant:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Datasets for monitoring landscape-level climate change impacts;<\/li>\n<li>Biodiversity assessments and monitoring in agricultural landscapes;<\/li>\n<li>Monitoring the impacts of land use management approaches; and<\/li>\n<li>Monitoring the impacts of agricultural productivity strategies.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>Technical Scope:<\/strong>&nbsp;We welcome proposals that focus on any significant pollinator group.
