World Wildlife Fund, Charity of the Day

Filed under: Charity, Green, Charity of the Day

The World Wildlife Fund works around the world to protect endangered species, protect and restore endangered habitats, and deal with the ever-growing global challenges facing the environment. As with most charities you can always give the simple gift of a donation in your loved one's name, or with WWF it gets a little more fun and personalized when you adopt an endangered wild animal. For just $50 you get an adoption certificate, a photo of your chosen animal, and best of all an adorable coordinating plush toy. And with 80 species to choose from you can certainly personalize your gift, and even encourage the starting of an annual tradition and a collection of animals. Donate/order by December 17th for Christmas delivery.

After all the huge jewelry auctions of rare stones and blockbuster designer pieces, Sotheby's "Jewels for the Jungle" auction offers a collection that is less pricey and quirkier than most. The auction, which takes place on December 4 in Amsterdam includes the jewelry you might expect at a Sotheby's auction but also features a private collection of animal figures and animal-inspired jewelry pieces that will be sold to benefit of the World Wildlife Fund. The selections are adorably quirky including a gold tree set with gemstone ornaments, and a diamond "Ram's Head" necklace by Cartier. The top lot is a small Buccellati seated monkey figurine that is estimated to sell for 6,000 to 8,000 euros.
