Polar bears could be extinct by 2050, according to Defenders of Wildlife.
Gifts concerning endangered species often do more than make the receiver happy. Such gifts usually benefit an endangered species nonprofit organization, which can either be made directly through the organization or through third-party sites. Look for gifts for the office and for children as well as gifts of membership to endangered species organizations.
Endangered Species Organizations Gifts
Give a gift through an endangered species nonprofit organization, many of which have gift center sections on their websites. The World Wildlife Fund, for example, offers endangered species adoption gifts, which includes adoption gift sets featuring plush versions of the animals. Gift adoption card gifts allow the receiver to choose which animal they would like to adopt and includes thank-you gifts such as plush toys and adoption certificates. The National Audubon Society offers gifts in the form of membership, memorial gifts, stock gifts and gifts for the office. The National Wildlife Federation offers a variety of gifts including apparel, gifts for the home and gifts for children, such as animal magazine subscriptions.
Apparel
Endangered species apparel gift options include T-shirts, such as those featuring endangered species such as the African elephant or a dolphin with the words "Endangered" emblazoned over the animal. Other T-shirt options include long sleeve tees that read "Peace, Love, Turtles" or shirts featuring an image of the polar bear. Look for ties featuring endangered species, such as a tiger tie, or get pets in on the action with dog sweaters featuring the endangered African wild dog.
Gifts for the Office
Look for posters and calenders featuring endangered species, which make great decorative gifts for the office. Try a "Save the Cheetah" poster from One Planet or elephant wall calenders and posters through shopping site Cafe Press or Zazzle. Koala calenders and black and white lemur posters are also ideas. Also look for mugs, mouse pads, notebooks, note cards, postcards and magnets featuring endangered species such as the manatee, gorilla, white rhinoceros, polar bear and zebras.
Toys
Educate children about endangered animal species through assorted toys. Purchase activity booklets featuring animal sounds, quizzes, games and stickers, or paper bag puppet kits featuring cut and paste puppet activities. There are many endangered species plush toy options including orangutans, elephants, ducks, panda bears, seals, hippos, sharks, red squirrels, and big cats such as lions and white tigers. Also check out endangered animal floor puzzles and plastic figurines. Cahootie fortune-telling games are also available in endangered animal prints.
