Adopt Zhu Xiong

Name: Zhu Xiong (pronounced Ju-Shong) meaning 'Bamboo Bear'

Species: Giant panda

About Zhu Xiong: Zhu Xiong was only two years old when she was found in a small farming village in the Pingwu district of China. WWF staff moved her to the Wanglang reserve, the oldest and most remote reserve in China, where she joined 30 other pandas.

About giant pandas: 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.

From just £3 a month you can adopt Zhu Xiong, and help WWF to protect the future of this amazing species, and conserve our natural world.

Adopt Malu Pothi

Name: Malu Pothi (meaning female from the Malumela area)

Species: Bengal tiger

About Malu Pothi: Malu Pothi lives in Suklaphanta Wildlife Reserve, in Nepal. Like all tigers, she is shy and elusive, and maintains a relatively fixed home range in the north-eastern part of the reserve.

About tigers: Malu Pothi is one of the last 350 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, where Malu Pothi lives, and strengthening anti-poaching patrols in the area.

From just £3 a month you can adopt Malu Pothi. Your support will help WWF to protect wild tigers, and build a future in which humans live in harmony with nature.

Adopt Koyah

Name: Koyah (named after a river which has its headwaters in the Ulu Segama Forest Reserve)

Species: Orang-utan

About Koyah: Koyah lives in the northern part of Ulu Segama Forest Reserve in eastern Sabah, Borneo. Koyah is a baby orang-utan estimated to be about 9 months old and her mother Ibu (meaning mother in Malay) still cares for Koyah. She is one of less than 63,000 orang-utans estimated to survive in the wild today.

About orang-utans: 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.

From just £3 a month you can adopt Koyah, helping WWF to safeguard the future of wild orang-utans, and tackle some of the biggest conservation challenges that we face today.

Adopt the Ileach dolphins

Name: The Ileach dolphins (meaning 'of Islay')

Species: Bottlenose dolphin

About the Ileach dolphins: This pod of bottlenose dolphins live in the waters around the Inner Hebrides, off the coast of Scotland. They are often seen around the Island of Islay, which is how they got their name.

About bottlenose dolphins: 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.

From just £3 a month you can adopt the Ileach pod. Your money will help WWF to continue to protecting marine species and the oceans in which they live, and conserve our natural world.

Adopt Kiruba

Name: Kiruba (meaning grace)

Species: Asian elephant

About Kiruba: Kiruba lives in Corbett National Park, in the Terai Arc lowlands of India. She has a son and a daughter, and is the dominant female in an extended family of more than 20 elephants. As the matriarch of the group she is relied upon to find food, water and safe habitat.

About elephants: Asian elephant populations have decreased dramatically as their habitat is encroached upon by logging and agricultural clearance. Illegal and unsustained logging 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 far faster than they are being replaced.

From just £3 a month you can adopt Kiruba. Your support will help WWF to safeguard the future of wild elephants, and build a future in which humans live in harmony with nature.

Adopt Kinyanjui

Name: Kinyanjui (named after a long-term supporter of rhino conservation in Kenya)

Species: Black rhino

About Kinyanjui: Kinyanjui is lucky. He has escaped the poachers who have slaughtered 95 per cent of rhino populations in recent decades. He is now one of less than 500 black rhinos left alive in Kenya.

About rhinos: 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.

From just £3 a month you can adopt Kinyanjui. Your money will help WWF to safeguard the future of wild rhinos, and tackle some of the biggest conservation challenges facing our world today.

Adopt the Svalbard polar bears

Name: The Svalbard polar bears
Species: Polar bear

About the Svalbard polar bears: The polar bears are a group of male and female bears aged between 5 and 12 years old. They live in the Svalbard archipelago in the Arctic, which belongs to Norway. Svalbard is made up of three larger islands and numerous smaller islands and approximately 60% of the archipelago is covered in glaciers.

About polar bears: Polar bears are found in the Arctic landscapes of Canada, Greenland, Norway, Russia and Alaska. Research has shown that more than a quarter of polar bear populations are in decline and if current global warming trends continue, polar bears may become extinct within 100 years.

From just £3 a month you can adopt the Svalbard polar bears, helping WWF to safeguard the future of wild polar bears, and tackle some of the biggest conservation challenges that we face today.
