Add wildlife to gift lists this holiday season to give the Heart of the Wild

Be the first to review this item!

Published

When WWF-Canada asked a bunch of kids what they thought of wild animals, the same answer came back again and again: They love them — a lot. This year, WWF-Canada is asking Canadians to share in that love and give the Heart of the Wild with symbolic wildlife adoptions.

The adoptions are a great way to wow nature lovers and teach children about generosity and helping the planet. When people give the Heart of the Wild they are also supporting critical conservation work and sharing a gift that will be remembered long after the holidays are over.

More Canadian wild species are available for adoption than ever before, including caribou (reindeer), narwhal, grizzly bears and Arctic hares. Shoppers can also choose from popular international animals such as the African elephants, hippopotamuses, snow leopards, tigers, giant pandas and white-handed gibbons. Check out our complete adoptions collection at wwf.ca/shop.

By sharing their hearts this holiday season, Canadians can help wildlife, protect vital habitat and improve the health of our planet for future generations.

What's included in each $40 adoption kit

  • High-quality stuffed animal plush toy.
  • Personalized adoption certificate.
  • Stunning poster about the species and the conservation work the purchase supports.
  • Reusable WWF-Canada tote bag.
  • $30 tax receipt to the purchaser.

Other ways to share your heart
WWF-Canada also has a variety of environmentally friendly gift options including virtual gifts. With no packaging or mailing, these hassle-free gifts are perfect for the person who is hard to buy for:

  • "Give a tiger a fighting chance" for $100 by supporting WWF-Canada's work to protect tigers from poaching.
  • For $20, "Help a polar bear stay cool" by supporting efforts to fight the impact climate change is having on Canada's Arctic.

 

These gifts may be virtual, but their impact is very real for the ecosystems and species they help thrive.
