Adopt an Elephant
The magnificent elephant is Earth’s largest land mammal and roams parts of Africa and Asia. The Asian elephant, which is slightly smaller than it African counterpart, is worryingly endangered. The Asian elephant encounters a number of threats to its survival, as their habitats are increasingly shrinking as humans utilise this land for agricultural purposes.
Adopting an elephant is one of the best ways you, at home, can make a positive impact on saving the elephant’s natural habitat and helping them thrive in the wild, by providing funds for WWF’s conservation efforts.
When you buy an elephant adoption gift pack you will receive the following:
- A cuddly toy elephant
- A booklet of interesting facts regarding elephants
- A beautiful elephant print
- A greetings card, ideal if the pack is a gift
- A subscription to three issues of Insight magazine, giving updates on elephants and environmental news
