Threats to turtles
Adopt a turtle to help protect their future
A turtle adoption helps us:
- work with communities that manage protected marine areas to manage safe spaces for turtles to nest
- reduce unsustainable and dangerous fishing practices to reduce the threat of turtles being tangled in nets
- carry out nesting surveys to improve data on marine turtles in places like Fiji
The survival of turtles depends on our protection. Please help us to bring our world back to life, before it's too late.

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.

Benefits of adopting as a gift
A WWF turtle 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 tiger 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 turtle adoptions are more than a cuddly toy, they’re helping protect wildlife and their habitats. Your gift will support our work with communities that manage protected marine areas to create safe spaces for turtles to nest, as well as projects to improve dangerous fishing practices that can harm turtles.
Turtle adoption gift FAQs
Turtle adoptions help support our work with communities that manage protected marine areas to create safe spaces for turtles to nest, as well as projects to improve dangerous fishing practices that can harm turtles.
Turtle adoptions are symbolic for donating and supporting our conservation work with turtles. By adopting a turtle, you will be supporting a whole group of turtles, rather than one individual.
Donations from our adoptions go both directly to support turtles, 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 us protect turtles by improving dangerous and unsustainable fishing practices, but it will also go toward our wider work in bringing our world back to life.
