From Bees to Beetles: Tiny Creatures Making a Big Difference

Did you know that over 75% of the crops we eat daily rely on tiny living creatures for pollination?
In Qaroun Nature Reserve, a complete natural pollination system thrives, carried out by environmental pollinators like bees, butterflies, beetles, and birds. Though often unseen, these creatures are the cornerstone of sustainable agriculture and food security.

Why do we need Qaroun’s pollinators?

• They help pollinate wild and cultivated plants

• Support crop production for surrounding farming villages

• Contribute to plant diversity and natural regeneration

• Play an ecological role in controlling harmful pests

Key pollinators in Qaroun include:

• Local honey bees

• Wild butterflies, some endangered

• Plant beetles with a dual role in pollination and pest control

These pollinators need a clean, stable environment—and Qaroun provides just that.

Economic Impact:

• Effective pollinators boost organic farming productivity

• This natural wealth can support eco-friendly beekeeping and butterfly farming projects, enhancing educational tourism

• Educational opportunities for children to learn about the life cycle of bees and butterflies firsthand

Protecting pollinators = Protecting our food.
