Before developing a strategic plan, the PPT met with numerous interest groups, researchers, and stakeholders to understand the many challenges and potential factors involved in pollinator declines. Although the role that pesticides play in pollinator declines has not been determined, the PPT has moved ahead and developed a broad strategic plan that ensures the Agency’s risk assessments and risk management decisions make use of best available information and scientific methods, and full evaluation of pollinator protection when making registration decisions. The strategy will also serve as the foundation for developing a work plan with accompanying activities that in turn will be incorporated into OPP’s future planning process.
