How to Help WWF this December

As we come up to Christmas, it’s the perfect time to reflect on how we can close out the year whilst supporting the world around us. From celebrating key awareness days like Wildlife Conservation Day to exploring charitable gifting options through WWF, there are so many ways to get involved. Together, we can ensure a brighter future for our planet and its incredible creatures.

Wildlife Conservation Day 2025

Wildlife Conservation Day on December 4th serves as a reminder of the urgent need to protect endangered species and their habitats. This day highlights the important challenges facing wildlife, including habitat loss, poaching and climate change. 

By donating to WWF or by sharing info on social media with #WildlifeConservationDay, you will be contributing to efforts that help combat the threats faced by endangered wildlife.

You can also use your voice in politics, your workplace and your community - learn more with our Campaign for Nature guide.
