With Arctic ice melting due to warmer temperatures, the walrus is losing its primary habitat for resting, birthing, nursing calves, and protecting itself from predators.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Each symbolic adoption kit includes a:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: x-small;\">high-quality wildlife plush.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: x-small;\">reusable gift bag, made from recycled plastic.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: x-small;\">personalized adoption certificate.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: x-small;\">letter that identifies you as the gift-giver.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: x-small;\">details on the work that your gift will help support.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>There are 3 levels, $100, $50 and $25. Not all of the amount is deductible since you get the cute stuffed walrus, but helping the walrus is not about the tax deductions. This time is definitely making it onto the list of great walrus-related Christmas gifts, which is a future post I&#8217;m putting the finishing touches on for the near future. Until then, go buy one for the walrus-lover on your Christmas or Holiday list.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s the link: <a title=\"Adopt a walrus kit\" href=\"http:\/\/www.worldwildlife.org\/ogc\/species_SKU.cfm?gid=37\" target=\"_blank\">Adopt a walrus kit from World Wildlife Fund<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The World Wildlife Fund has what I think will be the perfect Christmas present for me this year.
