Join WWF’s Protect the Paws Challenge! Help protect the wildlife and nature you love—all the paws and claws, jowls and howls, dens and furry friends—while helping your friends and family protect their own paws, too.

WWF is taking on some of the world’s toughest challenges, from climate change to plastic in our oceans, to forest destruction. If these problems set your fur bristling, here’s the paw-fect way to help.

As a Paw Protector, you’ll raise money for WWF’s most important work. Every friend or family member who helps protect paws by donating to your page will get a special thank you gift: a unique pair of socks to protect their own paws. And you’ll get cool swag, too. The more you raise, the more one-of-a-kind gifts you can get.

So if you give a hoot about wildlife and nature, raise your paw and join the challenge today!
