Threats to polar bears
Adopt a polar bear to help protect their future
A polar bear adoption helps us:
- track polar bear movements through footprint DNA so we know where to focus our conservation efforts
- cut greenhouse gases to maintain the delicate ecosystem the Arctic needs to survive
- work with communities to prevent human-bear conflict as bears fight for survival
The survival of polar bears 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 polar bear 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 polar bear 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 polar bear adoptions are more than a cuddly toy, they’re helping protect wildlife and their habitats. Your gift will help our work to monitor polar bear movements to reduce human-polar bear conflict and raise awareness of the threats of climate change on polar bears, as well as fund our other work around the world.
Polar Bear adoption gift FAQs
Polar bear adoptions help us work with local communities to monitor polar bear movements to reduce human-polar bear conflict and raise awareness of the threats of climate change on polar bears.
Polar bear adoptions are symbolic for donating and supporting our conservation work with polar bears. By adopting a polar bear, you will be supporting a whole group of polar bears, rather than one individual.
Donations from our adoptions go both directly to support polar bears, 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. Your gift will not only help our work to monitor polar bear movements to reduce human-polar bear conflict and raise awareness of the threats of climate change on polar bears, but also fund our other vital work around the world.
