Adopt a jaguar to help protect their future

A jaguar adoption helps us:

  • monitor jaguars and other wildlife to protect them from poaching
  • prevent conflict over space and food between jaguars and people
  • stop deforestation in the Amazon and protect the habitat of jaguars and their prey

The survival of jaguars depends on our protection. Please help us to bring our world back to life, before it's too late.

Benefits of adopting as a gift

A WWF Jaguar adoption is the perfect hassle-free gift for friends or family with a passion for wildlife and making a difference.

Sustainable gift - make your impact go further

Gift packaging is FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) certified and uses 100% recycled materials. No plastic is used in our gift packaging and it can be fully recycled.  

Our adoption toys are made to the Blue Angel standard. This independent ecolabel certification means these soft toys have a lower environmental impact and higher protection for human health, for example protecting workers rights, compared to other soft toys. If you would like to make your support go further, in checkout you can choose to not send the toy in your recipient. Although we have worked hard to reduce the footprint of our toys, they still have an impact on the environment, so choosing not to receive a toy is the most environmentally-friendly option and your loved one will still receive a welcome pack and regular updates.

Convenient and pressure-free gifts

Order online and your gift recipient will be sent a welcome pack directly to their door. If you need a last-minute gift, you'll receive a personalised Jaguar gift certificate to give to your loved one while waiting for the pack to arrive.

You can also browse other species to adopt as a gift.

Impact

Our Jaguar adoptions are more than a cuddly toy, they’re helping protect wildlife and their habitats. Your gift will support our work in the Amazon, to create and manage protected areas. We also work with local communities and decision makers to help preserve crucial habitats. We’re supporting local communities in monitoring jaguars and other iconic Amazon species. The data they collect helps us to understand the jaguar’s range and status. This information is essential to help us influence decision makers to improve conservation measures in critical areas.


Jaguar adoption gift FAQs

Jaguar adoptions help us work with local communities to monitor jaguars, develop sustainable livelihoods and reduce conflict between people and jaguars.

Jaguar adoptions are symbolic for donating and supporting our conservation work with jaguars. By adopting a jaguar, you will be supporting a whole group of jaguars, rather than one individual. 

Donations from our adoptions go both directly to support jaguars, as well as to fund our wider work to protect nature and our planet. 

Your gift recipient will receive an optional toy and welcome pack.

If the welcome pack won't arrive in time for a special event such as a birthday, you can print or email a personalised gift certificate online to give while you’re waiting for the pack to arrive. 


Animal adoptions like yours give a huge boost to our work. They not only help fund projects to work with local communities to monitor jaguar movements and help protect their habitat but also fund our other vital work around the world.
