The Xerces Society is dedicated to protecting pollinators and invertebrates—the species that make life as we know it possible.
From native bees and butterflies to beetles and other soil-dwelling organisms, their work supports the systems that sustain biodiversity, food production, and healthy landscapes.
Through research, advocacy, and on-the-ground conservation, Xerces helps restore habitat, guide responsible land management, and protect species that are essential, yet often overlooked.
Biodiversity refers to the variety of life within an ecosystem—plants, animals, insects, and microbes.
Each ecosystem has its own balance. Some naturally have more diversity than others, but what matters is that these systems stay in balance over time. In many places, rapid environmental changes have disrupted that balance, making ecosystems less stable and harder to sustain.
Pollination, soil health, and water cycles all depend on these relationships between species. When those relationships are simplified or lost, the system becomes less resilient.
Protecting biodiversity isn’t just about increasing it—it’s about supporting the conditions that allow ecosystems to function as they should. That often starts with small, consistent choices in how we care for the spaces around us.

Lawns aren’t inherently bad—but they are limited.
They require consistent maintenance, use more water than most people expect, and offer very little in terms of habitat.
Reducing even a portion of lawn creates space for something more functional-plants that support pollinators, improve soil, and contribute to a healthier ecosystem overall.
It doesn’t have to happen all at once. Start with one area and build from there.
