Pollinators Without Borders

Canada, United States & Mexico

A trinational pollinator corridor restoring habitat across Canada, the United States and Mexico — for the monarch and for every species that follows the same road.

Announced 24 August 2026

Pollinators do not recognise borders, so the response cannot respect them either. Pollinators Without Borders coordinates habitat restoration, native planting and citizen-science monitoring across Canada, the United States and Mexico, building one continuous corridor through three countries. The monarch migration is the corridor’s most visible traveller and the reason it can be mapped at all — but bees, moths and hummingbirds use the same route, and the same restored habitat carries them all. Pollinator collapse is a food-security problem as much as a wildlife one: the corridor protects the species that a third of the food supply depends on.
