Threats to Snow Leopards

Climate
Change
Rising temperatures will limit snow leopard’s territory and damage their snowy habitat
Human
Contact
Less prey means snow leopards eat livestock and herders may kill them in retaliation
Poaching
and hunting
Snow leopards are highly valued in the illegal wildlife trade for fur and traditional medicine
Habitat
Loss
Mining and farming destroy snow leopard habitats so there’s less space to hunt and breed

Adopt a snow leopard to help protect their future

A snow leopard adoption helps us:

  • expand our vital research into countries like Nepal and India to protect this 'ghost of the mountain'
  • pay for camera traps and GPS collars, which are vital to help understand snow leopards and their habitats
  • work with local communities to improve how pasture land is looked after - helping to restore snow leopard habitats

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

Free delivery

We offer free delivery but ask you to consider helping to cover postage with an optional £3 donation taken at checkout. This means more of your gift can go towards supporting your adoption animal and our wider work.

Your gift pack will be sent within 2-3 working days - but allow up to 5 working days for it to arrive. 


Benefits of adopting as a gift

A WWF snow leopard 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 snow leopard 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 snow leopard adoptions are more than a cuddly toy, they’re helping protect wildlife and their habitats. Your gift will help to promote insurance schemes to local herders to soften the financial impact of snow leopards preying on their livestock, and expand our research into countries like Nepal and India.


Snow leopard adoption gift FAQs

Snow leopard adoptions help us work with local communities to monitor snow leopards, develop sustainable livelihoods and reduce conflict between people and snow leopards.

Snow leopard adoptions are symbolic for donating and supporting our conservation work with snow leopards. By adopting a snow leopard, you will be supporting a whole group of snow leopards, rather than one individual. 

Donations from our adoptions go both directly to projects that support snow leopards, as well as to 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 us expand our research into countries like Nepal and India to further protect snow leopards, but also fund our other vital work around the world.
