Janique Goff: Bee pollination essential to the cycle of life

Janique Goff is one of those few people who genuinely care about the planet. She is known for her passionate advocacy of all things concerning the environment, from preserving wildlife to developing clean energy. Currently a Business Development Manager for a biotech company, Goff raises her concern on how human life might be at stake when honeybees become extinct. In recent years, there has been a significant decrease in bee hives, known as the colony collapse disorder (CCD). People say that among the causes of CCD are genetically modified crops and pesticides, but it is reported that a lot of agents, when combined, causes this event.

Environmental advocates such as Janique Goff believe that there is a great need in saving bees from disappearing. Bees are the best pollinators because it is in their nature to collect and transfer pollen. Pollination is important in human life because it helps in the production of crops. It also allows plants to produce a wide variety of fruits, nuts, and seeds that are of high nutritional value. As many would say, a bee is responsible for every third bite of food that people eat.

The causes of CCD vary from malnutrition to climate change. There is still no definite explanation that has been proven, but these probable causes have one thing in common, which is the negligence of humans to the environment. The aim of environmentalists such as Goff is to raise awareness on the importance of wildlife and other natural resources on human living.
