How you can help

Symbolically adopting a wild hooded plover at Phillip Island means you are an official Hooded Plover guardian. Hooded plover guardians contribute to securing a brighter future for these threatened shorebirds by supporting scientific research and conservation efforts.

You will receive a digital adoption pack containing:

- Personalised adoption certificate

- Hooded plover fact sheet

- Quarterly newsletter to discover how your donation has helped

Please note: Gift adoptions are emailed immediately to the recipient. If you would prefer to keep it a surprise and to print and wrap the adoption certificate for a special day, please include your gift recipient’s name instead of your own and do not tick the 'gift adoption' option. You will then need to enter your own email address, and the pack will come to you, you can then share it as a gift on the date you wish. Thanks for supporting the Penguin Foundation.
