A bumblebee sucks nectar from wildflowers growing on a strip of land designated as a biodiversity haven of the Havelland Hof Ribbeck farm on June 20, 2024 near Ribbeck, Germany. The farm, which combines dairy production, grains and biofuel energy, is part of the F.R.A.N.Z. program, a nationwide government sponsored initiative that seeks to promote biodiversity in agriculture. Farmer Peter Kaim claims that through relatively simple techniques he has been able to foster sustainable ecosystems among his fields that support a wide variety of animal life, including mice, birds, butterflies and other insects. Biodiversity across Europe has been severely and negatively impacted by agriculture over the last few centuries. (Photo by Sean Gallup/Getty Images)
