Green Your Holidays: Sea Turtle Adoptions Make Great Gifts
GAINESVILLE, FL – Greening your holiday gifts is easier than ever this season with a symbolic sea turtle adoption from Sea Turtle Conservancy. Personalized sea turtle adoptions are a thoughtful gift idea for family and friends that love the environment.
“Sea turtle adoptions are a fun way to spread the message of conservation during the holidays,” said David Godfrey, executive director of Sea Turtle Conservancy. “These symbolic adoptions also make a big impact, supporting sea turtle conservation efforts worldwide.”
Why sea turtles? These ancient creatures are among the most important indicators of the health of the world’s marine and coastal ecosystems. All seven sea turtle species are listed as threatened or endangered, and their continuing decline has serious implications for countless marine animals as well as for people.
Sea turtle adoptions are a great way to help improve the survival outlook for sea turtles. For a tax-deductible donation of $25 or more, Sea Turtle Conservancy will send gift recipients a personalized adoption certificate, a Sea Turtle Conservation Guide, a membership window cling, a sea turtle sticker and bookmark, a magnet, and a one-year subscription to Sea Turtle Conservancy’s membership publication, all in a keepsake sea turtle folder.
And for a limited time, upgrade any sea turtle gift adoption to the $50 level or above, and Sea Turtle Conservancy will include a free 2012 Sea Turtle Scenes Calendar in addition to the adoption premium!
Delivery is free for US orders placed by 11:59 pm EST on December 4, 2011. To adopt a turtle online, visit AdoptASeaTurtle.org or call 1-800-678-7853 to place a phone order.
