  I don’t think the public knows that, that’s the problem.

    Yeah, the new emphasis on “pollinator gardens/spaces” has maybe made it better, but when the conversation was “save the bees they are important pollinators” the public 100% say it as a bee specific issue.

      The not-so-problem with that is that people started planting flowers to “save the bees” and inadvertently also helped other species.

  This meme can be taken a few different ways. This makes me think of this book I’ll link below that shows how people get really hyped about certain species and forget about the rest of the ecosystem.

    I think that the joke is that European honey bees are used as a universal pollinator in half-assed greenwashing schemes this outcompeting native pollinators. Conservationists want to save all the other pollinators.

    I envy you a little for not knowing this classic, you can experience it for the first time. The link is already in the comments.

  Yes, so conversation irl is just that, isn’t it? It is mostly concerned with species that are marketed as being endangered and so it’s usually cute or humanlike species that you can more easily market to people.
