49. Conclusions I. There are about 660 species of actual and possible pollinators in the WDC Area. II. A comprehensive online database on these animals would be a valuable resource. III. The WDC Area has pollinator havens, but there are many urban sprawl areas that could be more pollinator friendly.

50. Many pollinator species are included in Databases from Georgetown University.
