WELCOME TO WINGSRISING, INC.
Rising Up to Help Pollinator Populations Survive and Thrive!
Our mission is fourfold: (i) to support scientific research investigating the causes for the dramatic decimation of pollinator populations, (ii) to educate the public on the urgent need to protect populations of our primary pollinators, (iii) to restore natural habitats for these pollinators, and (iv) manage a land preservation trust to permanently protect pollinator populations against the encroachment of land development and pesticide use.

Butterfly Conservation: A study led by Northumbria University and involving Butterfly Conservation has carried out the first nationwide assessment of the combined impacts of long-term land-use and climatic change on species distributions. The study found that many small actions can restore a species, as seen in the successful restoration of a butterfly species in Florida that was thought to be extinct.
