- [Narrator] Did you know
that there's a crisis

00:04.471 --> 00:05.839 align:left position:12.5%,start line:93.33% size:87.5%
facing pollinators,

00:05.839 --> 00:09.876 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
like birds, bats, butterflies,
and especially bees?

00:11.344 --> 00:14.681 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
The Great Sunflower Project
needs citizen scientists

00:14.681 --> 00:17.150 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
to identify where
pollinators are doing well

00:17.150 --> 00:18.318 align:left position:12.5%,start line:93.33% size:87.5%
and where they are not.

00:19.919 --> 00:23.690 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
This is important because one
third of the food in the U.S.

00:23.690 --> 00:25.258 align:left position:12.5%,start line:93.33% size:87.5%
depends on pollinators.

00:29.696 --> 00:31.331 align:left position:12.5%,start line:93.33% size:87.5%
It's easy to help.

00:31.331 --> 00:33.433 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
Watch for pollinators

First identify and count the
flowers you are monitoring.

00:40.507 --> 00:42.876 align:left position:12.5%,start line:0% size:87.5%
Count the pollinators
you see on the flowers

00:42.876 --> 00:44.978 align:left position:12.5%,start line:0% size:87.5%
and record the amount
of time you watched.

00:46.613 --> 00:49.582 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
Upload your results on a
computer or smartphone.
