SUPPORT OUR MISSION WHEN YOU SYMBOLICALLY ADOPT AN ANIMAL


River Otter
North American river otters are beautifully adapted to life in the water, where they hunt for fish, frogs and birds. Once threatened by unregulated hunting, today river otters face pollution and destruction of their wetland habitat. You can help North American river otters by symbolically adopting one today.

Each symbolic adoption supports tree planting across the U.S.
Scientists believe that higher temperatures sparked by climate change pushed animals beyond the tipping point making them more vulnerable.
If temperatures remain high, many more species may disappear altogether. That's why the National Wildlife Federation's Wildlife created the
Symbolic Wild Animal Adoption program because your support directly can help our efforts to reduce climate-change pollution,
restore habitats in America's forests, wetlands, grasslands, waterways and coasts to sustaining wildlife populations.
You will help protect America's precious wildlife and habitats with your adoption.
