Our adoption center is a fundraising effort to preserve species and their habitats. Your symbolic adoption of these animals helps fight the many threats to their natural environment. The funds raised through these symbolic adoptions are used to help save animals in the wild. Contributors may symbolically adopt an animal from a habitat that World Wildlife Fund is working to protect and conserve. Your symbolic adoption does not support a particular animal, but instead helps fight threats faced by critically endangered species, like global warming and habitat loss.
