Want to make this holiday season even more meaningful by helping to protect wolves, polar bears, sea turtles and other threatened and endangered wildlife?
Then check out Defenders’ new Facebook application that lets you:
- Send free, wildlife-themed eCards to your friends and family to celebrate special occasions—or just to say you’re thinking of them
- Create a wildlife adoption wish list that your friends can use to buy you a gift that supports a cause with special meaning for you
- Adopt one of our 28 different animals for your own friends and family (or yourself!)
- Invite your friends to fundraise with you to help save our wild animals and special places
… All without ever leaving Facebook!
Get Started!
NOTE: When you first go to the application, you’ll receive a pop-up that asks you to authorize the application to collect information it needs to work properly. (The pop-up may have a different appearance depending on your browser.)
Send Free, Wildlife-Themed eCards
The Defenders Facebook Adoption Center lets you send eCards with beautiful animal photos to your friends to wish them happy holidays, celebrate their birthday, or just to say “Hey!” It’s a great way to show you care for your friends—and our wildlife treasures.
Create a Wish List
Tired of getting socks and sweaters year after year? Create a wish list so your friends can adopt an animal instead. Defenders offers four different bundles of animals—Wolf Pack, Cool Critters, Wild America, and Big Cats.
Each bundle includes 4 or 5 animals available for adoption at different price points, and your friends can choose whether to send the adoption kit to you or keep it for themselves!
Adopt an Animal
You can use the Defenders Facebook Adoption Center to adopt animals to give as gifts (or keep for yourself!) Each adoption comes with its own adorable plush, certificate of adoption, color photo, and animal fact sheet, and you’ll receive free standard shipping until December 15, 2011.*
*Note that adoption kits can only be shipped to U.S. addresses.
Give Together
Invite friends who share your passion for saving wildlife to join you in making a group donation to Defenders. From polar bears to prairie dogs, your group gift will help Defenders fight to give these and other threatened and endangered species a lasting future.
Keep Track of Your Activities
Keep track of who has adopted items off your wish list or contributed to your group gift on the My Accounts page. You’ll also see which of your friends have wish lists and/or are creating their own group gifts.
Got Questions?
Pleaswe email webmaster@defenders.org with any questions you have about the application and someone will respond to you as soon as possible.
From all of us at Defenders of Wildlife, we wish you and your friends and family a wonderful holiday season!
