Adopt an Elephant
Asian elephant populations have decreased dramatically as their habitat is encroached upon by logging and agricultural clearance. Forest clearance is a worldwide problem destroying nature, damaging communities and distorting trade. Around half of the world's original forests have now disappeared, and they are still being removed at a rate ten times higher than any possible level of re-growth. |

Adopt a Dolphin
Bottlenose dolphins are wild, intelligent and inquisitive mammals. Dolphins face a multitude of dangers, such as fishing, pollution, collisions with ships, entanglement in fishing gear and habitat degradation. |

Adopt a Panda
Pandas are the rarest bears and their forest habitat is fast disappearing. Forest loss is caused by expansion of agricultural land, intensive harvesting of timber, use of wood for fuel and other forest products, and overgrazing. Each year an area of forest larger than the UK is lost - a rate of 30 hectares every minute. |

Adopt an Orang-utan
Orang-utans are now found only on the islands of Borneo and Sumatra. Habitat destruction and fragmentation - caused by commercial logging and clearance for oil palm plantations and agriculture - are by far the greatest threats that these amazing creatures face. If the current rate of deforestation continues, Borneo could lose most of its lowland forests in less than ten years. |

Adopt a Rhino
The greatest threat facing rhinos today is the demand for their horn, which is used in traditional Chinese medicine, and is traded illegally. WWF aims to eliminate illegal and unsustainable trade by supporting the enforcement of appropriate wildlife trade laws, and helping to develop them where they do not yet exist. |

Adopt a Tiger
There are only 123 tigers left in Nepal. It's vital that we do everything we can to protect these beautiful creatures. WWF is monitoring the tigers in Suklaphanta and strengthening anti-poaching patrols in the area. |
