ADOPT A PLATYPUS - ONCE-OFF ADOPTION
Purchase a one-off platypus adoption to receive your special adoption gift pack and help protect platypuses forever.
Save our platypus and our precious waterways
Did you know that the platypus once thrived across eastern Australia? But in the last 150 years, they’ve come under threat. Bushfires, deforestation, drought, pollution and predators are bringing the future of this extraordinary monotreme at risk of becoming locally extinct.
They are now at a critical crossroad as they also face threats from deadly disease and climate disasters. We cannot let this happen. We must take action. Adopt a platypus today.

How do WWF gifts make a difference?
Your platypus adoption can help support the rewilding of this unique species. Your generosity will help research and monitor platypus populations across eastern states and implement a unique translocation program to re-introduce healthy platypus back into Sydney’s Royal National Park. Your generosity will be a sign of your support for conservation and animal advocacy, ensuring our iconic platypus remains part of our natural environment forever.
Plus for each platypus you assist, you'll also help hundreds of other native animals too.
What you'll receive
Your special adoption gift pack includes an optional adorable platypus plush toy, fact book, adoption certificate, Living Planet magazine and WWF sticker.
