| 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 :-) |
 | Donate to the Jungle for Jaguars AppealThe World Land Trust work with a number of conservation charities around the world - local partners who identify land they could save if the World Land Trust were able to raise the funds to do it. Their current appeal is called Jungle for Jaguars. The aim is to raise £600,000 as quickly as possible to purchase and protect over 8,000 acres of key jaguar habitat in Belize. The land is threatened by deforestation. The local partner has begun the land purchase in Belize to save this habitat for these wonderful big cats, but you can join in and give a big cat lover or a wildlife lover a gift by donating to this appeal. Each gift costs a minimum of £25 and your donation is recognised by a beautifully designed Gift Pack, which includes a personalised Certificate of Appreciation. Each certificate can include several names, if required. I've already asked my husband to get this for Christmas for me. I love big cats and this is an important appeal.

| 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. |
