Parthiban is not the only one to recognize the high value of pollinators in improving the crop production, which in turn improves the quality of life, nutrition and well-being of the Indian people.

Large-scale landscape change — loss of wildflower-rich prairies to crop monoculture or conversion of open lands to suburban development, for instance — is a threat to pollinators and may play a major role in declines by making it harder for bees and other pollinators to find a meal.
Bee Battles: why our Native Pollinators are Losing the war
Non-native species can dramatically reshape their invaded habitats and disrupt the interactions between native species.
