Every Wildlife Adoption Kit sold results in a direct contribution to one of their projects.
Polar Bear
Nicholas Paroshy, University of Alberta
Meet Nicholas! He is studying polar bear movement patterns in an area of the Arctic called the Beaufort Sea. Sadly, warming temperatures due to climate change are melting the sea ice that polar bears rely on for hunting. Adopt a polar bear to help Nicholas protect these extraordinary creatures!
Eastern Wolf
Megan Quinn, Nature Conservancy of Canada
Meet Megan! She is leading a team of conservationists in Eastern Ontario’s Frontenac Arch, a corridor of forests, wetlands, and lakes that help fight climate change and are home to a huge amount of biodiversity. Adopt an eastern wolf to support her work!
Swift Fox
Peter Soroye, Wildlife Conservation Society Canada
Peter and his team are working to identify and help protect Key Biodiversity Areas; the most critical sites for protecting Earth’s biodiversity. Adopt a swift fox to support the preservation of native grasslands in Saskatchewan – one of the most endangered ecosystems in the world.
Caribou
Yifeng Wang, Queen’s University
Yifeng is working in Canada’s North, investigating a rare ecosystem called permafrost peatland. Besides being important wildlife habitat, they are also a strong carbon sink. But with temperatures warming around the world, these frozen habitats are in trouble. Adopt a caribou to help!
River Otter
Megan Quinn, Nature Conservancy of Canada
Meet Megan! She is leading a team of conservationists in Eastern Ontario’s Frontenac Arch, a corridor of forests, wetlands, and lakes that help fight climate change and are home to a huge amount of biodiversity. Adopt a river otter to support her work!
Moose
Megan Quinn, Nature Conservancy of Canada
Meet Megan! She is leading a team of conservationists in Eastern Ontario’s Frontenac Arch, a corridor of forests, wetlands, and lakes that help fight climate change and are home to a huge amount of biodiversity. Adopt a moose to support her work!
Ringed Seal
Katie Florko, University of British Columbia
Katie’s research is focused on the relationships between predators and prey in Hudson Bay – and how those relationships are being impacted by the melting sea ice. By adopting a ringed seal, you’ll help Katie learn how to better protect these animals and their homes.
Jaguar
Osa Conservation
Osa Conservation is an incredible team of scientists and conservationists, dedicated to protecting Costa Rica’s Osa Peninsula! This diverse rainforest ecosystem is threatened by hunting and human activity. Adopt a jaguar to help safeguard the habitat of these apex predators.
American Badger
Nature Conservancy of Canada
British Columbia’s Kootenay River Ranch is home to some of Canada’s most iconic—and endangered—animals. Adopt an American badger to support NCC as they work to restore this once abundant ecosystem, now threatened by human development.
Bighorn Sheep
Nature Conservancy of Canada
British Columbia’s Kootenay River Ranch is home to some of Canada’s most iconic—and endangered—animals. Adopt a bighorn sheep to support NCC as they work to restore this once abundant ecosystem, now threatened by human development.
