Description
The Mobile Application – Pollinators developed with expertise and knowledge of Dr.Johnson Stanley – is a Citizen Science initiative, to promote the understanding and action necessary for a sustainable environment. It is hoped that this mobile application will help increase awareness and understanding about butterflies and bees amongstfellow citizens.
Pollinators play an important role in the Web of Life. Several plants need seeds to grow into new plants. The process that leads to creation of seeds is called Pollination. Plants sometimes self-pollinate, however most of the times they rely on insects, wind, birds, animals, etc. for pollination. ‘Pollinators‛ include - bees, butterflies, moths, flies, hummingbirds and bats. Bees are one of the most important pollinators. Several species of Bees - Honey bees, Bumble bees, Stingless bees, Solitary bees and other Native bees come under this category. The body of honey bees is hairy and the pollen get cling to it and get transferred to other flowers when they travel from one flower to another for nectar or pollen collection. Honey bees also have special structures called pollen baskets in their hind legs which aid in pollen collection. Bumble bees are called as buzz pollinators because they produce a characteristic buzzing sound which aid in pollination. Butterflies seek nectar during daytime. Beetles also provide pollinator services. Hummingbirds are perhaps the most common bird pollinator. Other birds that provide pollinator services include Wood thrush, Cerulean warbler, and Eastern Cuckoo. Bats are integral for night blooming flowers and crops. Scientists engaged in plant propagation are keen to understand these processes and conditions that optimize their roles. Citizens’ observations on occurrence and distribution of these active ecosystem members help enrich understanding of these aspects. The pollination services determine fruit or seed availability and quality, thereby provide very important food and habitat resources for other organisms, including human beings.
Pollinators App is an initiative of Earthwatch Institute India to facilitate easy identification of some of the Pollinators in the field using mobile application. It is hoped that this mobile application will help increase public awareness and generate greater interest regarding pollinators and their habitat. The App will further strengthen our keenness to observe the pollinators and help us as Citizen Scientist, in contributing to the knowledge base.

Questions & Answers
Q: What is an APK File?
A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.
Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?
A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.
Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?
A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.
Q: What are Android App permissions?
A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.
