Only 2 years since the ban on neonics, France's population of insect-eating birds has risen 2-3% - from banning a single type of insecticide. Demonstrating just how much harm we cause birds when pesticides kill off the insects they need for food.

Last year, Vermont became the second state in the nation to ban pesticides called neonicotinoids.
Many farmers use neonic-treated seeds to keep pests away, but they are toxic to pollinators like honey bees.

The state has implemented a ban — with some exemptions — on pesticides called neonicotinoids. The new policy will impact farmers, landscapers, and pollinators.

Honeybees are seeing record losses due to toxic pesticides like neonics, parasites, and climate change, signaling threats to our food security and ecosystems.
Neonics are decimating bee populations with up to 60% of hives lost. They harm pollinators which are needed for the production of food and are exposing humans to serious health risks like cancer.
