Adopt a polar bear - Help before it is too late
Polar bears depend on the arctic ice. This is where they hunt and raise their young. But the ice is shrinking and we need to protect them and their arctic habitat.
Make a real difference. Adopt a polar bear.
You can adopt the Svalbard polar bears - a group of male and female polar bears aged between 5 and 12 years old. They live in the Svalbard archipelago in the Arctic. And you can keep track of their movements with our special online tracker!
Polar bear adoption pack
When you adopt we'll send you a polar bear adoption pack. This includes:
- A cuddly toy polar bear
- A fact booklet about polar bears
- A beautiful polar bear print
- A greetings card
- Three issues of Insight magazine throughout the year with updates about the polar bears
- WWF's tips on reducing everyone's environmental impact
Why not adopt for someone else and send this as a gift?
Last minute gift?
No problem! If you are worried the adoption pack might not arrive in time, you will be able to print or email a gift certificate to give on the day.
How you can
make a real
difference
Climate change is the biggest threat facing the polar bear. A reduction in sea ice makes access to prey more difficult for polar bears and means many cannot put on enough weight to survive the summer season. Your money can help us work towards:
- Conserving the Arctic region's rich biodiversity
- Maintaining a healthy Arctic environment with undisturbed ecosystems and healthy populations of wildlife
- Raising awareness of the threats of climate change that we all face
- Your support will also help fund other essential WWF conservation work around the world.
Adoption packs will be dispatched within a few days, but please allow up to 10 days for delivery.
