In weeks, France could bring back banned bee killing pesticides ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌

            It’s hard to believe — but France is about to bring back banned 
bee-killing pesticides.

            The Senate has just passed a law that would reauthorize 
neonicotinoids — a family of ultra-toxic pesticides banned since 2018. The 
law was pushed through under pressure from powerful agricultural lobbies and 
looks like it was written personally by Bayer’s CEO.

            Now, the law heads to the National Assembly for a final vote in 
May.

            That means there’s still time to stop it. And local groups 
across France are rising up to do just that. But they need our help to fund 
their battle against Bayer-Monsanto and their limitless cash for lobbying.

            Will you chip in now to help stop this bee-killing disaster? 
Your donation will fund urgent action in the coming weeks and sustain 
campaigns to defend the environment from toxic companies like 
Bayer-Monsanto:


            I'll donate $3
            I'll donate $4

            I'll donate $5
            I'll donate $9
            I'll donate another amount




            Here’s the truth:

              a.. This rollback has nothing to do with protecting farmers — 
and everything to do with protecting chemical company profits.


              b.. The science is clear: safer, effective alternatives to 
neonicotinoids exist. Biological control, agroecology, targeted treatments — 
even for sugar beets — have been tested and proven to work.


              c.. If passed, the law would reintroduce chemicals up to 
10,000 times more toxic to bees than DDT.
            The pesticide lobby is counting on silence. Let’s show them we’re 
paying attention. The vote is weeks away — and what happens next depends on 
us.

            Chip in now to fuel emergency campaigning in France before the 
vote and campaigns to protect nature long after.


            I'll donate $3
            I'll donate $4

            I'll donate $5
            I'll donate $9
            I'll donate another amount


             Your donation will help power Ekō and our campaigns worldwide 
fighting for people and the planet.

            The stakes couldn’t be higher: bees and pollinators are already 
in crisis — this law could push them over the edge. And neonicotinoids don’t 
just kill insects. They contaminate soil, water, and even our food — 
threatening human health, especially for children.

            Scientists are clear: viable, safer alternatives exist. This 
rollback is about protecting pesticide profits, not farmers. Your support 
will help local groups reach lawmakers, challenge false claims, and show 
that people everywhere stand against this toxic law.

            France once led the world in banning neonicotinoids. Let’s make 
sure it doesn’t become the first to bring them back.


            Thanks for all that you do,
            Nabil and the Ekō team
