Lifestyle

Thousands of whales and dolphins are slaughtered every year for human consumption and for use in fertiliser, and animal food. Adopt a dolphin and do something about it.

The World Wildlife Fund (WWF) has set up an dolphin adoption scheme, whereby you can adopt a dolphin as a gift for someone.

Adopt a dolphin and you'll also be rewarded. Few animals hold such a firm place in the public's affections than these extremely intelligent mammals. The dolphin's playful inquisitive and social behaviour makes them an ideal adoption gift for anyone.

With the support from dolphin adoption the WWF can continue researching and protecting many marine species around the world and the oceans in which they live.

Dolphin adoption can be given as a gift for someone quickly and easily online.

The person you want to give the adopt-a-dolphin gift to receives a gift pack including a cuddly toy, adoption certificate, World Wildlife Fund pen, adoption card, background details of the species and information on the specific work undertaken by WWF in adopting dolphins.
