Climate change is driving species population reduction of life to humanity, such as those responsible for pollinating food crops, including bees and bats, according to reports from the Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources (SEMARNAT), which could considered as alarming, considering that, according to data from the same unit, in general, 90 percent of agricultural production comes from pollination. Stressing that Mexico is very important to protect the pollinators, the head of SEMARNAT, Juan Rafael Elvira Quesada, stressed that 170 fruits consumed  owe their existence to the pollinators.
