Local
conservation
matters.

GHCAAZK is dedicated to helping save animals globally as well as locally.  The greater Houston area alone has many endangered and threatened species including but not limited to Houston Toads, Attwater's Prairie Chickens, Sea Turtles and even our little pollinator friends, native bees.

To help our coastal neighbors like sea turtles and pelicans, we participate in at least 3 beach cleanups a year.  The most imminent threat facing marine life is plastic pollution also know as marine debris. Sea turtles often mistake plastic bags in water for sea jellies which is part of their main diet.  

What we do to help.

Many of the threats facing native animals in the greater Houston area are due to habitat loss and human encroachment. GHCAAZK members volunteer regularly at the Katy Prairie Conservancy to help rebuild prairie grass habitats for many of the native animals.

How you can help.

Lots of little actions make HUGE impacts to help save animals.

• Use reusable bags anytime you shop.
• Use reusable water bottles
• Avoid balloons.
• Plant prairie pockets and limit pesticides in your back yard to attract native pollinators.
• Recycle your batteries and handheld electronics to help keep waterways clean.
• Use rechargeable batteries.
