Description:Pollinating insects are critical to the function of Arctic ecosystems and to the food systems of Arctic Indigenous Peoples and Arctic residents. The distribution, conservation status, and ecology of most Arctic pollinators are poorly known due to few long-term research and monitoring sites and geographically limited inventory sampling. In the high Arctic, there are 14 known bee species and 17 known butterfly species; in the low Arctic, there are 58 known bee species and 95 known butterfly species. The number of pollinating fly species is unknown. Coordinated long-term monitoring, strategic inventories, emerging technologies, engagement with Indigenous Peoples, and resources to support these efforts can improve our understanding of the status of pollinators and their habitats, and inform effective conservation strategies.
