Our recent publication on pollen‐based assisted migration has prompted concerns about its feasibility and effectiveness. In this response article, we address those concerns by presenting large‐scale examples of supplemental and controlled pollination from Sweden and the United States, demonstrating its practical application. We also highlight the existence of an extensive global network of seed orchards and expand on the benefits of pollen‐based assisted migration, further reinforcing its potential and addressing the raised concerns.
