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 carry out work such as:

  • campaign on their behalf at local, national and international level
  • educating today's children on the wonders and importance of nature - creating resources for teachers to use such as the Big School Birdwatch
  • moving them from one area to another, for instance in places of conflict or pressure on land space
  • helping charities protect an area of the sea to give fish a chance to re-stock
  • Rescuing  sick or injured animals
