Pollinators | Kids Out and About San Antonio

Pollinators

Pollinators are animals that transfer pollen between flowers, facilitating plant reproduction, seed/fruit production, and supporting ecosystems that contribute to our food supply. Declining populations of pollinator animals are facing threats such as habitat loss and the use of pesticides. These species require targeted conservation efforts. This spring at San Antonio Zoo, guests learn more about these essential animals. Guests can climb on giant pollinator sculptures throughout the park as they learn more about the importance of these pollinators in our world.
