I love doing something to help nature and society, not just for now, but also for future.

– W.L. Hung, CEO

For some people who especially live in the cities, it is hard for them to understand the value of nature such as wildlife animals, insects, plants, rivers, oceans, forests, and beautiful landscapes etc. The fact is, nature underpins our society, economy, lives, and our very existence indeed. We shouldn’t consider that nature is free, and often take it for granted and overexploit it.

For Will Legend, supporting the “Home for Bees SDG11™ Charter” is to advocate:

1. Adopt “Relocate & Return” for conservation instead of killing bees with pesticides
2. Reduce or stop using traditional toxic pest control methods and pesticides
3. Adopt Sustainable-health and Non-toxic methods to protect bees, land, plants and the environment
4. Support beekeepers in mountainous areas, and rural areas so that they can continue to safeguard bees
5. Environmental conservation to protect bees and inspire the public to practice sustainable urban development

Safeguard the last piece of pure land on the Earth, let the glacier cool, let the ocean breathe, run through the pulse to wildlife corridor, draw a “Green-blueprint”, build a cradle of ecosystem, nurture biodiversity, make human health and prosperity sustainable.

– The Sustainable Conservation Goals of Will Legend

“Home for Bees” is one of the Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) Activities and is an Extended Learning of “Urban Wildlife Corridor”. Through the protection of bees to nurture biodiversity, Will Legend works with schools, enterprises/corporates, and organizations to practice environmental conservation, build eco (green) living, green public spaces, inclusive communities, and safe settlements to resist disasters. Will Legend brings out the need to achieve harmonious coexistence between humans and nature when planning development in cities and communities, so that to achieve the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal SDG11 Make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable.

Bees are important pollinators of agricultural crops. They are not only an indispensable role in the ecosystem, but also have an important impact on global food supply and even the fight against poverty.

Bees are small insects live in nature and spend their days foraging and reproducing. Some people consider them pests because they accidentally cross our boundaries. By interacting with bees firsthand, Will Legend hopes to showcase the gentle nature of bees and help people understand that they are an important part of the natural world. Every day, bees work hard to collect nectar and pollen along with other pollinators and animals, helping to solve global food supply issues and alleviate hunger in developing countries.

Pollination is a fundamental process for the survival of our ecosystems. Around 90% of the world’s wild flowering plant species depend, entirely, or at least in part, on insect & animal pollination, along with more than 75% of the world’s food crops and 35% of global agricultural land. It’s however, bees and other pollinators, such as butterflies, bats and hummingbirds, are increasingly under threat from human activities.

Cities are a key contributor to climate change, as urban activities are major sources of greenhouse gas emissions. Estimates suggest that urban areas are responsible for 70 percent of global CO2 emissions, with transport and buildings being among the largest contributors (IPCC, 2022). Therefore, a good sustainable urban development policy is a key to livable home, sustainable economic, social inclusion and environmental sustainability. The nature nourishes us and give us everything we need. It is time for us to give back nature and build a resilient, green and low-carbon cities that relevant to the achievement of UN SDG 11 on Sustainable Cities and Communities.

Will Legend created “Home for Bees” Conservation and Education Programme to address a range of issues from reducing CO2 emissions, and destroying nature. We support the United Nations May 20th World Bee Day (WL 520 World Bee Day), and organize both ESG and ESD activities to educate the public on the importance of protecting bees & other pollinators, and understand the threats they face. This will greatly contribute to the survival, and achieve the sustainable goal to a balanced coexistence between humans and nature.
