ABOUT THE ART

"Today is World Bee Day. These “Bee Geometric” prints remind us how much our planet depends on bees as pollinators. Bees and other pollinators, such as butterflies, bats, and hummingbirds, are increasingly threatened by human activities. Pollination is, however, a fundamental process for the survival of our ecosystems. Nearly 90% of the world’s wild flowering plant species depend entirely, or at least in part, on animal pollination, more than 75% of the world’s food crops and 35% of global agricultural land. Not only do pollinators contribute directly to food security, but they are vital to conserving biodiversity. A portion of the proceeds from these prints will support the NRDC (@nrdc_org) and its efforts on behalf of responsible environmental legislation. Thanks for caring!"

-Shepard Fairey
