Healthy pollinators for a healthy planet

The Macquarie University Pollinator Futures Research Centre supports research and innovation focused on the critical role of pollinators in ecosystem health and agricultural productivity.

Our centre aims to advance scientific understanding, develop sustainable management practices and drive policy changes that will ensure the survival and prosperity of pollinators in Australia and worldwide.

We aim to create a collaborative hub at Macquarie University and beyond, where cutting-edge research, education and community engagement converge to address the challenges facing pollinators and secure their future.
