How symbolic adoptions make a difference
When you make a symbolic adoption, the proceeds go directly toward funding conservation projects and initiatives.
This means that your gift protects nature forever. In return, nature protects us by storing carbon, improving water quality and providing healthy habitats for the plants and animals that depend on these places for survival.
Adopting a species or habitat is a rewarding and fun way to take action for nature. Your gift will:
- Protect wildlife: safeguarding your favourite species and the precious habitats they call home.
- Conserve beautiful landscapes: securing natural areas and ensuring that the breathtaking beauty that Canada is known for remains intact — forever!
- Care for ecosystems: safeguarding and restoring natural areas to offer healthier habitats for the plants and animals that depend on them.
- Share your love of nature: giving a lasting gift to someone special.
