When the marsh remembered how to breathe, the bee found it on the breeze.

Why this card
The discovery of a zebra-striped bee in Somerset saltmarshes signals tangible ecosystem recovery after years of conservation work. I've chosen 2034 to show a future where small victories compound and pollinator populations stabilize through habitat restoration. The image depicts thriving saltmarsh grasses and flowering plants that support the bee, showing the restored habitat rather than the moment of discovery itself.
