Abstract
This chapter discusses the capacity building for conservation and management of pollination services and covers a wide range, from formal education at all levels, to the informal building ofcapacity amongst farmers, land managers, policy makers and other target groups, including the public as a whole. A particular emphasis has been laid on building capacity in taxonomy and pollinator identification, since this is one of the major impediments to pollinator conservation.
