WHY ADOPT A HIPPO?

Weighing up to 3,600 kilograms, hippos are large semi-aquatic mammals with an enormous head and body, and short legs and tail.

Historically, the hippopotamus once thrived throughout all sub-Saharan African, but most population numbers have dropped due to threats such as illegal hunting and habitat loss. The common hippopotamus is listed as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.

Your symbolic adoption helps WWF fight to secure the hippo's long-term survival by restoring habitat, reducing human-hippo conflict and preventing illegal poaching. You'll also be helping conserve other species at risk around the world, and providing a healthier natural world for us all.

DESIGNED TRUE-TO-LIFE HIPPO PLUSH

Our plush may prefer land but it shares many of the features that make hippos so well adapted to aquatic life, including ears, eyes, and nostrils high on the head so the rest of the body may remain submerged. It's dense, barrel-like body is perfect for walking underwater without immediately floating to the top.

Here are our most commonly asked questions about our symbolic adoption kits.

See our FAQ page or contact gifts@wwfcanada.org for more help.

How does my purchase help wildlife?

Your purchase through our e-store is a crucial part of our fundraising efforts to support the conservation work that our scientists undertake to protect wildlife and their habitats. For example, to help protect narwhals, our Arctic Species Conservation Fund supports narwhal tagging and research in Nunavut. We also support the development of non-invasive research techniques, including the use of aerial drones and underwater microphones. This work helps us learn more about distribution, behaviour, and the impacts of underwater noise on narwhals, inspiring actions that safeguard the species.

What is the name of my animal / How do I receive information about the animal I adopted?

Our Wildlife Adoptions are symbolic, which means that your purchase does not correspond to a specific animal in the wild. By selecting the wildlife adoption kit you like best, you are helping to protect all species at risk – not just one.

WWF works around the world to help conserve species and the
habitats they call home. Your gift goes a long way in helping to make these efforts possible.

How do I request a blank adoption certificate with my Symbolic Wildlife Adoption purchase?

If you would prefer to personalize your certificate yourself, you can opt to receive a blank adoption certificate. Simply leave the sender and recipient name fields blank.
