The facts:

Their Mission:

Adopting an animal
“Provide help to an animal in great danger of extinction for as little as £3 per month and make a connection that lasts.”
There’s a range of 10 different animals you can adopt eg pandas, tigers, dolphins, orang-utan, Asian elephant to name a few 😀
They come as a gift pack and cuddly toy.
The gift pack contains a cuddly toy of the animal chosen, a greeting card, a certificate a facts card re the species and tips for a ‘greener’ lifestyle, a magazine that comes 3 times/year and regular updates re your specific adopted animal. Perfect as a gift, delivery is two weeks postage. If it’s a last minute gift you can receive a gift certificate for the big day and the present will arrive after 🙂
It’s a great way to introduce your children to conservation.
The WWF is here to stop the degradation of the planet’s natural environment and to build a future in which humans live in harmony with nature.
