## Healthy pollinators for a healthy planet

The Macquarie University Pollinator Futures Research Centre supports industry, conservation and policy. Through collaborative and cross-disciplinary approaches, we develop practical tools to protect pollinators and ecosystems.

Our centre aims to advance scientific understanding, develop sustainable management practices and drive policy changes that will ensure the survival and prosperity of pollinators in Australia and worldwide.

We aim to create a collaborative hub at Macquarie University and beyond, where cutting-edge research, education and community engagement converge to address the challenges facing pollinators and secure their future.

### Research facilities and infrastructure

The School of Natural Sciences and the Department of Applied Biosciences are home to numerous facilities that enable our research within our centre. These include:

- controlled environment laboratories
- fauna research park with experimental honeybee hives
- microbiology laboratory facilities

- microscopy laboratories
- outdoor flight cages
- PC2 molecular laboratories
- plant growth facility.
