Your donation through our adoption program helps conservation and research efforts to preserve wildlife species and their habitats. The funds raised through your symbolic adoptions are used to help fight the many threats to wildlife’s natural environment and safeguard these species in the long run. Contributors may symbolically adopt an animal from a habitat that WWF is working to conserve. As conserving habitats will benefit more than one species, our symbolic adoption does not support only one particular animal, but instead helps in protecting many species from threats such as habitat loss, illegal wildlife trade, and climate change. Conserving habitats also helps keep the biodiversity flourishing, which in turn will also benefit people and communities.
