<P>Europe’s wild bees are in a death spiral – and in the next few
days the EU could make it much worse.</P>
<P>The European Commission is proposing changes that would
allow <B>pesticide approvals to be granted
indefinitely</B> – with no mandatory safety reviews and no
requirement to consider new scientific evidence on the harmful
impacts of the chemicals in these products.</P>
<P>If this goes through, <B>Bayer’s toxic chemicals could stay
in the market forever!! Unless we stop it.</B></P>
<P>If enough of us <B>donate in the next 24 hours, we can
launch a rapid-response campaign</B> targeting the
Commissioners and key officials before they finalize it – including
legal research, an impact assessment, and an investigation into
contacts between European Commission officials and the pesticide
lobby.</P>
<P>We’re ready to throw everything we can at this and defend the
laws that protect nature and people. <B>All we need now is your
help to do it – can you chip in to save the bees?</B></P>

<P><B>Wild bees pollinate a third of our crops.</B> Without them, we
would lose apples, almonds, tomatoes, strawberries, and countless
other foods we rely on. Their survival is our survival. And toxic
pesticides are decimating whole populations of them. A new official
report shows that in the last decade the number of <B>wild bee
species at risk of extinction has more than doubled</B>.</P>
<P>The Commission’s proposed changes would accelerate their deaths,
eliminating the mandatory renewal process, scientific assessment,
and safety reviews for some of the most dangerous chemicals that are
in use across Europe. <B>It would be the biggest rollback on
pesticide protections the EU has ever seen and cause untold harm to
pollinators, nature and our health. </B></P>
<P>Right now, the <B>pesticide industry is working hard to rush this
through</B> before the public catches on. They have deep pockets and
powerful connections, but we can still stop it – <I>if we move
fast</I>.</P>
<P><SPAN style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffff00"><B>We have only a few
days to influence what happens next</B>.<B> If we raise enough in
the next 24 hours, we can act quickly and confidently to the work
and reach decision-makers before our window of opportunity
closes. </B></SPAN></P>
<P>Millions of us helped win a Europe-wide ban on bee-killing
neonicotinoids and forced some of the world’s biggest pesticide
companies to pull their products from the market. <B>Now the threat
is even more dangerous. Decades of progress could be wiped out
overnight.</B></P>
<P>Vladimir, this is a defining moment for bees and for the laws
that protect all of us from toxic pesticides. Your donation now will
help support our work to protect nature and people – <B>can you chip
in to help us save the bees?</B></P>
