Adopt a tree

Our native forests are home to some of the most unique wildlife and plants on Earth, but the Australian bush has never been under more pressure. An estimated 500,000 hectares of native forests and woodlands are bulldozed every year. Bushfire season is catastrophic, with the 2019/20 fires alone destroying 12.6 million hectares of forest and bushland.

Without urgent action, an estimated 750 million native animals who rely on trees for survival, will die by 2030. Deforestation also accounts for around 15% of total global emissions, a dangerous contributor to climate change.

Your tree adoption today can help turn this tragedy around.

What you'll receive

Your special adoption gift pack includes a native seed pack, fact book, adoption certificate, Living Planet magazine and WWF sticker.

How do WWF gifts make a difference?

Your tree adoption today can help secure the future of billions of animals. As well as curbing climate change and leaving behind a safer planet for generations to come.

Your support will help protect a lifesaving source of food and shelter for our native wildlife. Your gift will also help put pressure on governments to stop excessive deforestation, safeguarding our planet for future generations to come.

This planting event is a first step in a larger, landscape-scale project to support healthy habitat for the local koala population. This project is in partnership with Greening Australia and the Campbelltown Council. © WWF-Aus / Leonie Sii
