Tallinn’s pollinator highway

This image, acquired on 29 May by one of the Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellites, shows Tallinn’s 14-kilometre pollinator highway. The linear park serves as a green corridor connecting different areas of the city, facilitating walking and biking for residents, as well as a pathway for pollinators such as butterflies, bumblebees, bees and other animals. 

Tallinn is the EU Green Capital for 2023 and is building the pollinator highway with the support of two external projects of the European Union.

The knowledge centre on Earth observation (KCEO) helps EU policymakers to fully exploit Copernicus data to make informed decisions in line with the EU biodiversity strategy.
