WWF Gift Guide: Nine ways to give back to nature this holiday season

To arm you in your search for the perfect present that shows you care, we’ve compiled a list of gifts that give back – and are sure to impress the animal lovers (and animals) on your list.
More wildlife-inspired gifts under your tree = more species thriving in the wild.

1. Take home a species


Sloths are slow, but our sloth adoption kits have already sold out. But you can choose from 30 other species) to help stop wildlife loss. Each adoption comes with a cuddly plush, personalized adoption certificate and educational poster about the species and conservation work your gift supports.

2. Adopt a red fox and get a wildlife card

Show you care this holiday season by giving a fox. Twelve of our adoption species – like the intelligent red fox – are now available as a $25 wildlife card-only option without the stuffed toy. Each stunning card comes with an embedded adoption certificate, all enclosed in a beautiful envelope. See them all.

3. Help protect our oceans with a special edition WWF S’well bottle
