By attending Brew at the Zoo, guests are helping save local species from extinction. The zoo said it manages breeding and reintroduction programs for the Houston toad and Attwater’s prairie chicken, which contributes to increasing their populations in the wild. Visits also help save sea turtles in Galveston by supporting life-saving medical treatment the zoo provides for stranded and injured wild sea turtles found on the upper Texas coast.
