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
- If adopting more than one calf from the same family, please chose the "FAMILY BUNDLE" option instead of the individual animals in order to receive a discount!
- Your plush will usually be delivered within a day or two, but please excuse any possible delays due to limited stock, COVID or holidays.
- 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 double check you have included the correct 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!
FAQs
Can more than one person adopt the same individual?
Yes, because the adoption is symbolic, different people can adopt each individual. Only the sponsors have exclusive access to the adoptee's details however.
Can I receive regular updates?

Unfortunately we are unable to provide regular updates both due to COVID-related disruptions to fieldwork, and because we can never guarantee when families will be seen. Indeed, months may pass between sightings. However, we hope to offer an annual renewal option in the future once fieldwork resumes without interruption. It will be available only for individuals for whom updates can be provided. Sign up for our newsletter below to get updates on this and other developments!
How long will kits take to arrive?
Usually the digital portion of your kit will arrive within a few business days. For premium kits, the plush toys will arrive within one day to one week in stock. Please allow time for possible COVID-related delays or items being out of stock and extra time during holidays.
