Instead of a birthday present

Wish for
something wild.

Pick an animal or plant you want on this planet for a long, long time. Share your wish with everyone coming to your party. They protect it, in your name, and this bond will grow with you — instead of outgrowing you.

How it works

Three steps, one very good birthday.

You don't need a bank account, a job, or a grown-up's permission to care about a species. You just need a wish.

1

Pick your species

Frogs, tamarins, snow leopards, bats — and many more to come. Read what each one is up against, then choose the one you can't imagine the world without.

2

Send your wish out

Your wish goes out with the party invite. Everyone knows exactly what you want — and nobody has to guess your shoe size.

3

Open it on the day

On your birthday you get a card showing what your wish paid for: hectares protected, ponds cleaned, patrols funded. Yours, with your name on it.

Four wishes

Choose who you're wishing for.

Each wish funds real work by conservation partners in the field. Pick one — or split your wish across a few.

A small brown frog with a bright red eye, resting on a green leaf

About 4 in 10 amphibians at risk

Frogs

Frogs breathe through their skin, so they feel a change in the water long before we do. When frogs go quiet, it's a warning meant for us.

Wet and rainy places
Threat
Disease, cleared forest, warming water

A snow leopard walking across grey mountain scree

Vulnerable

Snow leopards

So hard to find that researchers mostly count them by footprints and fur caught on rock. A tail almost as long as the rest of the cat.

Home
High mountains across Central Asia
Threat
Poaching, fewer wild prey, conflict with herders
You fund
Predator-proof corrals and community coexistence work

Funded through the Snow Leopard Conservancy, working in five of the twelve snow leopard range countries.

A bat in flight at night, wings fully spread

Many species declining

Bats

One bat can eat thousands of insects in a night. Some plants only ever get pollinated because a bat shows up after dark.

Home
Everywhere, especially in caves
Threat
Lost roosts, disease, disturbed hibernation
You fund
Cave guardians and roost protection in Nigeria

Your gift goes to the Small Mammal Conservation Organization in Nigeria. The Wildlife Conservation Network takes it as SMACON's fiscal partner and passes on 100%.

Make the card

Once you’ve given, make a card the birthday kid can keep. On a phone it goes straight into WhatsApp; on a computer it downloads.

For grown-ups

The practical bit.

Where the money goes

Every wish is passed to a named conservation partner working on that species. Add your partners and their split here.

Setting up a wish page

Parents can create a page for their child in a couple of minutes and share one link with the whole guest list.
