Support the Jane Goodall Institute this holiday! Give a Chimp Guardianship to support an orphan chimp.
You can also give a humane gift and support the critical work of Humane Society International. “HSI is creating a better future for animals and people through: providing disaster relief and hands-on care, fighting for new policies at all levels of government, inspiring and empowering animal advocates around the world, offering innovative solutions to complicated issues, and working with local communities to improve animal welfare.”
Donate to Animals Asia who are active in education and advocacy efforts on moon bear rescue and rehabilitation work.
Check out Defenders of Wild Life and its Wildlife Adoption Center and give a truly meaningful gift of survival and life –for that special friend or child in your life, instead of more unnecessary things that will be discarded like so many dead Christmas trees, why not adopt a 
penguin, beluga whale, polar bear, snow leopard, or
any one of the magnificent animals on the Wildlife Adoption Center. 
How should we relate to beings who look into mirrors and see themselves as individuals, who mourn companions and may die of grief, who have a consciousness of ‘self?’ Don’t they deserve to be treated with the same sort of consideration we accord to other highly sensitive beings: ourselves?
- Dr. Jane Goodall
