Conservation Gifts to keep the planet green!
| Wildlife conservation gifts The great thing about giving wildlife conservation gifts is that both people and animals benefit. These really are win-win gifts, and perfect for people who have everything or for nature lovers who want to make a difference & cares about animals. The animals win, you spend your money on something worthwhile - and the recipient knows they have a meaningful gift to help wildlife. Wildlife conservation is not about saving animals individually, but about saving their habitat - the areas and homes in which they live - and creating conditions in which they can safely thrive. The other thing to say is that you don't need to spend a great deal to make a difference to wildlife :-) |
 | Support the people who put their lives on the line and take the risk to keep wildlife safe. Every day brave men and women put their lives on the line to protect wildlife around the world. They are rangers, trackers, anti-poaching patrols, forest officers, dog handlers and others - you can do this through the David Shepherd Wildlife Foundation as an example. Other organisations run an Adopt a Ranger or Adopt a Wildlife Guardian scheme as well and you can find a list of them on this website's sister site, Take Action for Wildlife Conservation. This work is getting more dangerous and these brave men and women and dogs need all the help they can get. |
 | Buy an Acre with the World Land Trust This is a big chance to help keep the earth green and protect its communities of wildlife. You can "Buy an Acre" to give your support; thanks to donations, individual, corporate, whatever, the Trust is able to buy land for local conservation organisations and work with them to help preserve the area. To "buy an acre" means £100 donation, but actually you don't have to give £100 - you can go for a quarter (£25) or a half (£50). There' also a Plant a Tree Appeal as well. Visit the World Land Trust here. |

 | Support a Wildlife Trust Appeal There are 46 Wildlife Trusts, including one in the island of Alderney, and many have appeals you can donate to. You could find the one that's closest to your loved one or one which is an area that means a lot to them, and either donate to a local appeal if there's one going or support them in some way e.g. giving a membership, buying something from their shop, adopting an animal. The possibilites are endless so hop off to the Wildlife Trusts main website and do some exploring online! |
 | Find a virtual gift to help animals around the world Our sister website Animals Charities has a number of virtual gift ideas you can give to help animals around the world, mainly wildlife such as bears, big cats, squirrels, frogs, swans, deer, snakes, insects and a whole lot more! Canter off for some ideas... |
| Protect their favourite species If your loved one prefers smaller animals, and is fascinated by creepy crawlies, you could look at gifts from Bug Life or if they prefer animals that fly, you could look at the Butterfly Conservation shop. And if they are into amphibians, you could go to Froglife. Animal adoptions are also a great way to support wildlife conservation charities and for recipients to discover all about the work being done to help wildlife. How about adopting a Giant Tortoise from the Galapagos Conservation Trust? |
| Save the habitat of one animal, and you save it for thousands or even millions Within one acre there will be one animal which stands out - such as the jaguar, the polar bear, the elephant. Within this one acre are millions of animals & plants, all linked within the natural world of which we are a part. Help one acre, or one animal, and you help many more. |
