Meerkat

Meerkats are a kind of mongoose that live in the southern plains of Africa in family groups called mobs or clans. They feed on insects, lizards, birds, and fruit, and all adult meerkats pitch in to help raise the young. You can help meerkats 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.
