Adopt an animal


Why adopt an animal?

Adopt an animal & you can help support charities who are working to help protect the animals they represent by enabling them to...
  • campaign on their behalf at local, national and international level
  • buy areas of land to keep them safe or working with local conservation groups to solve problems where animals and humans are in conflict for land, water and the earth's natural resources
  • do research into how world changes are affecting animals so that they are better informed to campaign on the animals' behalf. For instance, tagging polar bears means that scientists can track the bears' movements over time to give an idea of how their patterns of behaviour are changing.
  • educate today's children on the wonders and importance of nature - creating resources for teachers to use such as the Big School Birdwatch
  • move them from one area to another, for instance in places of conflict or pressure on land space
  • help charities protect an area of the sea to give fish a chance to re-stock
  • Rescue sick or injured animals

What do you get when you adopt an animal?

You can usually adopt an animal for a year - this depends on the adoption scheme.  As a VERY GENERAL rule, adoptions may include .
  • An Adoption Certificate
  • Newsletters or magazines, three or four times a year
  • Updates on your animal
  • Information about him or her, the challenges he or she faces
  • A cuddly toy (not all do this), t-shirt or similar
  • The knowledge you're making a difference
(I've found that when you adopt an animal, you'll develop a personal link with an animal you care about - many adoptees find themselves thinking about "their" animal and they decide to do something further to help.  Ed)
