Adoption

Adopting or sponsoring is a great way to help wildlife. You can adopt an animal, sponsor a habitat or have a tree planted.


How to adopt

You might ask for an adopted animal for a birthday present or save your own money. Either way, you need to ask a parent or guardian to send off a cheque or give their credit or debit card details over the internet.

It usually costs about £3 a month to adopt an animal.
