Ameren Corporation is dedicated to enhancing pollinator habitats through a strategic partnership with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the University of Illinois Chicago. Through the Nationwide Candidate Conservation Agreement with Assurances (CCAA), Ameren is actively planting native vegetation and supporting monarch butterflies and other vital pollinator species across its service territory in Missouri and Illinois.
This initiative is designed to bolster biodiversity and promote ecosystem health by focusing on natural gas and electric generation and distribution sites. By creating sanctuaries for monarch butterflies, native bees, wasps, flies, moths, and certain beetle species, Ameren contributes significantly to local environmental conservation efforts.
Jennifer Queen, an environmental scientist at Ameren, highlights the company's commitment to sustainability and corporate responsibility. Ameren's participation in the CCAA exemplifies their proactive approach to protecting wildlife and enhancing natural habitats, ensuring a sustainable future for communities and ecosystems alike.
