Choose Charity Gifts for Christmas 2024

This Christmas, consider gifting a WWF charity gift that supports wildlife conservation and sustainability. Perfect for animal-lovers and nature-lovers.

Give the gift of an animal adoption

WWF offers unique opportunities to adopt winter species, including penguins, snow leopards, and polar bears.

  • Penguins: 
    • These charismatic birds face threats from climate change and habitat loss, particularly emperor and Adélie penguins. By adopting a penguin, you will help fund WWF's efforts to protect their habitats.
  • Snow Leopards: 
    • Known for their elusive nature and stunning beauty, snow leopards are threatened by poaching and climate change. Supporting WWF through a snow leopard adoption helps protect these majestic cats and their mountainous habitats in Central and South Asia.
  • Polar Bears:
    • As iconic symbols of the Arctic, polar bears are increasingly endangered due to melting ice caused by climate change. By adopting a polar bear, you contribute to critical research and conservation initiatives aimed at preserving their environment and ensuring their future.

If your recipient has a different favourite animal, explore all the species available for adoption here.
