Adopt an Animal

Adopt an Animal and help the wild ones!

You can make a difference

Adopt an animal today and make a valuable contribution to help us conserve threatened and endangered native and exotic species.

For yourself, or as a gift, your adoption can inspire others to support wildlife conservation and care for the environment.

Everything is interconnected. Our future and that of our children's, grandchildren's, further generations and all wildlife depends on the planet being in ecological balance.

Animals, and the habitats they live in, play a vital role in keeping the environment in balance, so their preservation is crucial.

Sadly, human impact on wildlife habitats has negative consequences: many species have become extinct, are either critically endangered or threatened.

Adopting an animal is a great way to...

• nurture your child's, partner's or friends' love and interest in caring for animals and the environment
• support the conservation work of Auckland Zoo – embracing captive breeding, breed and release programmes, projects in the wild, wildlife research, education, advocacy, and sustainable practices
• give a gift that has a truly positive effect on the environment
• celebrate your favourite animals at Auckland Zoo
