Pollinator protection is a central mission of the Ilha do Mel Nativo project, which works to safeguard native stingless bees and other key species across Pontal do Sul and Ilha do Mel. By promoting habitat preservation, ecological education and community engagement, the initiative strengthens pollination processes essential to the Atlantic Forest ecosystem along the Paraná Coast.
