Why adopt an animal?
Adopt an animal & you can help support charities who are working to
help protect the animals they represent by enabling them to...
- campaign on their behalf at local, national and international level
- buy
areas of land to keep them safe or working with local conservation
groups to solve problems where animals and humans are in conflict for
land, water and the earth's natural resources
- do
research into how world changes are affecting animals so that they are
better informed to campaign on the animals' behalf. For instance,
tagging polar bears means that scientists can track the bears'
movements over time to give an idea of how their patterns of behaviour
are changing.
- educate
today's children on the wonders and importance of nature - creating
resources for teachers to use such as the Big School Birdwatch
- move them from one area to another, for instance in places of conflict or pressure on land space
- help charities protect an area of the sea to give fish a chance to re-stock
- Rescue sick or injured animals
