Why our program is unique...
There are many symbolic adoption programs out there. Why choose this one?
Here are three reasons:
Here are three reasons:
- These kits represent wild calves, not captive animals. Your support helps our research and conservation efforts for wild elephants around the world, not just the upkeep of a few captive individuals.
- Each candidate is a REAL individual. The details you receive will be of actual animals, not general fact sheets about Asian elephants. We change the candidates that are up for adoption periodically based on our sightings of their families, so each one can only be adopted for a limited time.
- Great value! Our kits are simply the best deal among those that are available.
*** IMPORTANT NOTES ***
- Your plush will usually be delivered within a day or two, but please excuse any possible COVID-related delays.
- You will first be prompted to enter your own billing information. If purchasing as a gift, you will have the option to enter the recipient's name, email, shipping information, and a custom note after the billing step.
- Please be sure to include the email address to receive the kit!
- If you haven't received your kit within 1 week of ordering, please check your spam folder for a message from shop(at)trunksnleaves(dot)org. If you did not receive it, please email us!
