One out of every three bites of food is made possible by pollinators. Many pet foods rely on pollinators for essential amino acids and nutrients. But pollinators—like bees, birds, moths, and more—are facing worldwide declines due to loss or degradation of habitat, pesticides, climate change and more.
Working Together to Protect Pollinators
The Nature Conservancy is working hard to protect pollinators from these challenges across the globe and has partnered with Purina Beyond Pet Food to enlist people—and their pets—to help. Beyond Pet Food has committed $200,000 to The Nature Conservancy to help advance our work to support a healthy planet for pollinators, and all the other species we rely on for a healthy ecosystem.
Educating Audiences About Pollinators and How To Help

Purina Beyond’s Project Blossom is also encouraging audiences to learn more about pollinators, share pollinator knowledge, plantor make pollinator-friendly spaces in local communities, and encourage donations directly to TNC.

200,000. There are approximately 200,000 different species of animals around the world that act as pollinators.
