ments depend on these pollen-carriers. If these creatures

disappeared, they would go extinct.
Eighty percent of the plant foods consumed by human
beings are fertilized by these animals. 148 According to recent
research, the economic value of flower fertilization by ani-
mals is around $200 billion a year. 149 A recent drop in the
level of fruit production in certain parts of the USA once
again revealed just how important pollen-carrying insects

are: The disappearance of wild bee species and an increase
in the number of honeybees had a negative effect on the
fruit harvest. 150

One-third of the vegetable
foodstuffs consumed by human
beings are fertilized by more
than 100,000 different animal
species, including such as bees,
butterflies, insects, bats, birds
and flies. Many plants depend
on these animals for their repro-
duction and survival.
