Go green with your gifts
Struggling to find a last minute, original gift? Concerned about the environment? Then do something that can make a difference and support conservation
worldwide - and put a smile on someone's face. WWF
have introduced a range of gift ideas from tattooing a polar bear to sending a
turtle to rehab.
From $15 to $ 10,000 you could:
Send a turtle to rehab -
Six of the seven species of marine turtle are endangered. By sending a turtle to rehab WWF funded staff can nurse a sick or injured turtle back to health for release back into the ocean.
Give a Polar Bear a Tattoo! -
It's painless and WWF will be able to recognize the bear next time, which helps WWF fight for its survival in the Arctic.
Chilies, Dung and Engine Oil -
Don't eat it! But buy this gift and stop elephants and people from encroaching on each other's space.
Buy a Goat, Save a Leopard -
It works! This gift really helps prevent farmers from hunting snow leopards that prey on livestock.
Put a Cork In It! Plant a Tree -
A reason to celebrate! This gift will support unique Mediterranean cork forests and the people that depend on them.
Invest in a Gorilla's Paradise -
Your friend will be glad that together you helped to ensure that the lowland gorilla's home doesn't disappear.
Name that Turtle - Watch It Go! -
Technology is amazing! Put a satellite tracker on a turtle and scientists can follow its travels from one place to the next.
Give a Panda Room To Grow -
You'll be linking bamboo forests with this gift, making it easier for pandas to find food and mates.
