For years, pollinators have been mysteriously disappearing. While the reason for this phenomenon is still unknown, many experts are looking at habitat loss, chemical poisoning, parasites, and climate change as possible explanations. Vanishing Pollinators is an educational art exhibit that alerts us to this worldwide decline in pollinator populations. This portfolio of 34 stunning color photographs portrays the beauty and grace of flowering plants and their threatened insect pollinators.
For this exhibition, biologist and photographer Carll Goodpasture uses his camera as a hand lens to explore the intricate world of pollinators bringing to life the hidden interrelationship between plants and the animals they rely on for reproduction. In the process, he also sheds light on the role humans play in this relationship. A synthesis of art and science, this exhibition is both a visual statement about man’s interaction with the environment and a bold reminder of a world we rely upon but often neglect.
