Pollinators Without Borders

Monarch butterflies, native bees, migratory hummingbirds, and nectar-feeding bats don't recognize national borders — and neither does the work of protecting them. We connect organizations, communities, Rotary clubs, and conservation partners across Canada, the United States, Mexico, Central America, and South America.

Native Habitat Restoration

Milkweed, nectar plants, and agave corridors that fuel migration and everyday pollination.

Migratory Corridor Protection

Safeguarding the flyways and nectar corridors monarchs, hummingbirds, and bats travel every year.

Community & Citizen Science

Tagging programs, sighting reports, and habitat counts that power real conservation data.

Cross-Border Partnerships

Linking Rotary clubs, NGOs, and communities in every country pollinators pass through.

Why "Without Borders"

One shared responsibility, spread across many countries

Pollinators Without Borders is an informational website dedicated to connecting organizations, communities, Rotary clubs, educators, and conservation partners across the Americas to support the protection of pollinators and the corridors they depend on.

Monarch butterflies breed across Canada and the United States and overwinter in the mountain forests of central Mexico. Rufous and ruby-throated hummingbirds move between Mexico, Central America, and breeding grounds as far north as Alaska. Lesser long-nosed bats travel a nectar corridor of agave stretching from southern Mexico into the Sonoran Desert. Because pollinator life cycles cross borders, their conservation must be international too.
